[Intro]
Ohh
Doo doo doo doo doo
Right next to you

[Verse 1]
You're the kind of person I remember seeing before
Your pretty face is one that I'll always adore
You have the eyes that'll close whenever you kiss me
Because love makes us whatever we want to be

[Pre-Chorus]
How do I breathe?
How do I sleep?
With you not beside me
You're all the things I could not see
But now they're in front of me

[Chorus]
When I'm right next to you
Right next to you
Yeah, no matter what I do
I wanna be next to you
I'm right next to you
Right next to you

[Verse 2]
When I saw you at that richside on that one particular day
I was really hoping and wondering if you'd ever look my way
So I got up from my seat but you had already passed me by
If only I got there earlier and not lost in your eyes

[Pre-Chorus]
How do I breathe?
How do I sleep?
With you not beside me
You're all the things I could not see
But now they're in front of me

[Chorus]
And I'm right next to you
Right next to you
Yeah, no matter what I do
I wanna be next to you
I'm right next to you
Right next to you

[Verse 3]
I'll promise one day I'll be
And maybe one day you'll see
That you belong to me
Baby, babe
I don't know what to do
And it only helps that I'm sitting right next to you
Sitting right next to you

[Chorus]
I'm right next to you
I'm right next to you
Yeah, no matter what I do
I wanna be next to you
I'm right next to you
Right next to you

[Outro]
Da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da
Right next to you
Da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da
Right, next to you

Charlie Puth

Charlie Puth is an American singer-songwriter who started by making and covering songs on his YouTube channel. His big break came when he was featured on the Furious 7 song “See You Again,” which he had written for a friend who passed away in a similar accident. The song reached #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and stayed there for twelve weeks, becoming the longest-running rap number one along with Eminem’s “Lose Yourself.” The song’s iconic music video was also the most viewed video on all of YouTube for a short amount of time when it passed PSY’s “Gangnam Style” in July 2017.

His first project, The Otto Tunes, was released in 2010, with the title being a play on his middle name, Otto, and autotune. His second release, Ego, was also self-produced and dropped in October 2013.

His major-label debut Nine Track Mind was released January 29, 2016, and lead single “Marvin Gaye” with Meghan Trainor topped the charts in the UK and reached the top twenty-five in the US, peaking at #21. His next single “One Call Away” fared even better, hitting #12 in the US and establishing Puth as a full-blown star as opposed to a two-hit wonder. A deluxe edition of the record was released in November 2016.
