So Close

(Ivy Yorke)

A song venting about the frustrations of being friend-zoned and feeling like the present situation is one's own fault.

VERSE 1:
Baby boy, why you doin' me like that?
You know I love you. It's a fact;
But you shove me under the mat, aye!
Baby boy, whenever you are close to me
I feel a surge of ecstasy, but it's not meant to be.

PRECHORUS:
You don't know why I'm crying.
Inside, I feel like I am dying; 
And, you want me to smile. 
Who do you think you are?
Boy, shut your mouth -- I'm not your child.

CHORUS:
Why am I in this position?
Had one job, but I failed my mission.
I was so close, so close.
Ay-ay-ay

VERSE 2:
Baby boy, this is simple as it is.
We were friends since we were kids.
You're thinking nothing's amiss, aye!
Baby boy, when I hear you call my name
Everything inside me answers with a heart that I can't tame

PRECHORUS:
You don't know why I'm crying.
Inside, I feel like I am dying;
And you want me to laugh.
Who do you think you are?
You made it clear you're not my man.

CHORUS:
Why am I in this position?
Had one job, but I failed my mission.
I was so close, so close.
Ay-ay-ay

PRECHORUS:
You don't know why I'm crying.
Inside, I feel like I am dying;
And you think it's all okay.
But it's not, baby boy, it's not.

CHORUS:
Why am I in this position?
Had one job, but I failed my mission.
I was so close, so close.
Ay-ay-ay
Why am I in this position?
Had one job, but I failed my mission.
I was so close, so close.
Ay-ay-ay
