“Come Close,” Electric Circus, Common featuring Mary J. Blige (2002)
“Come Close” makes you want to fall in love, break up, and get back together. And Common’s pen is saturated with that sweet sugar that comes after a lover has messed up and is trying to get back into his lover’s good grace.
“I know your sick and tired of arguing, But you can’t keep it bottled in
Jealousy, we got to swallow it, Your heart and mind baby follow it
Smile, happiness you could model it, And when you feel opposite
I just want you to know, Your whole being is beautiful
I’m going to do the best I can do, Cause I’m the best when I’m with you.”
