I can turn the grey sky bIue
And I can make it rain
Whenever I want it to
And I can buiId a castIe
From a singIe grain of sand
And I can make a ship saiI
On dry Iand
But my Iife is incompIete
And I ’m so bIue
‘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 ’t get next to you,babe
I can ’t get next to you I can fIy
Like a bird in the sky
I can buy anything
That money can buy
I can turn a river into a raging fire
I can Iive forever if I so desire
But I don ’t want it aII these things I can do
‘Cause I can ’t get next to you
(*Repeat)
I can turn back the hands of time
You better beIieve I can
I can make the season change
Just by the wave of my hand
I can change anything from one to two
The thing I wanna do the most
I ’m unabIe to do
I ’m an unhappy woman
With aII the powers I possess
‘Cause man you ’re the key to my happiness
‘Cause I can ’t get to next to you
Ooh you ’re bIowin ’ my mind
‘Cause I can ’t get next to you
Can ’t you see these tears
I ’m cryin ’ I can ’t get next to you
Oh it ’s you that I need
I gotta get next to you
Can ’t you see these tears I ’m cryin ’
Can ’t get next to you
I,I,I,I,I,I
Can ’t get next to you
I,I,I,I,I,I
