I can turn the gray sky bluer,
And I can make it rain when ever I want it to.
I can build a castle from a single grain of sand,
I can make a ship sail, yeah on dry land.
But my life is incomplete and I'm so blue 'cause
I Can't Get Next To You.
(I Can't Get Next To You, babe
I Can't Get Next To You.)
I can fly like a bird in the sky,
And I can buy anything that money can buy.
I can turn a river into a raging fire,
I can live forever if I so desire.
Unimportant are all these things I can do
I Can't Get Next To You.
(I Can't Get Next To You, babe
I Can't Get Next To You.)
I can turn back the hands of time,
You better believe I can.
I can take the season's change just by waving my hand.
I can change anything from old to new.
The things I want to do the most I'm unable to do.
Unhappy am I with all the powers I possess.
'Cause girl, you're the key to my happiness.
And I, I, I, Can't Get Next To You,
Girl, you're blowin' my mind.
I Can't Get Next To You.
Can't you see these tears I'm cryin'?
I Can't Get Next To You.
Girl, it's you that I need.
I Can't Get Next To You.
Can't you see these tears I'm cryin'?
I Can't Get Next To You.
Girl, it's you that I need.
I Can't Get Next To You.
Can't you see these tears I'm cryin'?
I Can't Get Next To You.
