Common(formerly Common Sense, born Lonnie Rashid Lynn on March 13, 1972) is a Chicago-based hip-hopartist known for lyrics that focus on love and spirituality. Many people describe him as being a "true" hip-hop artist, one who makes songs that send a message. With the help of big time producers such as Kanye West, Common's tunes are ear catching and meaningful. His debut was the 1992 album , but he acheived little critical or commercial success until 1994's Resurrection, an instant classic. He produced several more albums, most notable among them the highly experimental Electric Circus, before releasing the Kanye West and J Dilla-produced Bein 2005, which was his first album to receive widespread mainstreamappeal and radio playtime.

Come Close To Me Lyrics

Common

Are we livin' in a dream world?
Are ya' eyes still green girl?
I know you're sick ' n tired of arguing,
But you cant keep it bottled in,
Jealousy, we gotta swallow it,
Your heart and mine, baby, follow it,
Smile, happiness you can model it,
And when you feel opposite,
I just want you to know,
Your whole being is beautiful
Imma do the best i can do,
Cuz im the best when im with you.

Chorus: Mary J. Blige

Come close to me baby,
Let your love come through
though this world gets crazy,
Whats it with out you?(Nothin, nothin..)

Verse 2: Common

Put down your bags, love.
I know in the past, love,
Has been sorta hard on you
But, i see the God in you.
I just wana nurture it,
Though this love may hurt a bit
We dealin wit this water, love.
You even give my daughter love
I wana build a tribe wit'chu,
Protect and provide for you.
Truth is i cant hide from you
Depend on my, may have to die for you.

Chorus: Mary J. Blige

Come close to me baby,
Let your love come through
though this world gets crazy,
Whats it with out you?

Bridge: Mary J. Blige

I know what'ya' thinkin, you on my mind
You're right, you're right, you're right
You promised the flesh was just mine, take time
Hope you're not tired, Tonite, tonite.

Verse 3: Common

You helped me to discover me,
I just want you to put trust in me
I kinda laugh when you cuss at me
The after math is you touchin me
Its destiny that we connected girl
You and I, we can affect the world
Im tired of the fast lane,
I want you to have my last name

Chorus: Mary J. Blige

Come close to me baby,
Let your love come through
though this world gets crazy,
Whats it with out you?

Bridge: Mary J. Blige

I know what'ya' thinkin, you on my mind
You're right, you're right, you're right
You promised the flesh was just mine, take time
Hope you're not tired, Tonite, tonite.(Repeat.)
