Next To Me

The Next To Me Songfacts reports that this song finds Sandé celebrating the strong, loyal men in her life. She told The Boombox: "I'm lucky that I have had very strong men in my life and who have always been very loyal to me, from my dad, my manager, to my fiancé." Having won the coveted Critics' Choice Gong at the Brit Awards, hugely talented singer-songwriter Emeli Sandé scored a No.2 smash with her third single 'Next To Me' in February 2012. The 24 year old, who swapped a medical career for music, then raced to No.1 in the UK with her debut album 'Our Version Of Events' to round off an incredible month.

[Verse 1] You won’t find him drinking under tables Rolling dice or staying out ’til three You won’t ever find him be unfaithful You will find him, you’ll find him next to me You won’t find him tryna change the devil For money, fame, for power out of greed You won't ever find him where the rest go You will find him, you’ll find him next to me [Chorus] Next to me – wooh hooo Next to me – wooh hooo Next to me – wooh hooo You will find him, you’ll find him next to me [Verse 2] When the money’s spent and all my friends have vanished And I can’t seem to find no help or love for free I know that there’s no need for me to panic 'Cause I’ll find him, I’ll find him next to me When the skies are grey and all the doors are closing And the rising pressure makes it hard to breathe When all I need’s a hand to stop the tears from falling I will find him, I’ll find him next to me [Chorus] Next to me – wooh hooo Next to me – wooh hooo Next to me – wooh hooo I will find him, I’ll find him next to me [Verse 3] When the end has come and buildings falling down fast When we’ve spoilt the land and dried up all the sea When everyone has lost their heads around us You will find him, you’ll find him next to me [Chorus] Next to me – wooh hooo Next to me – wooh hooo Next to me – wooh hooo You will find him, you’ll find him next to me Next to me – wooh hooo Next to me – wooh hooo Next to me – wooh hooo You will find him, you’ll find him next to me
