"I Can't Get Next to You"

Hold it, everybody

Hold it, hold it, listen

I can turn the gray sky blue

I can make it rain whenever I want it to

Oh, I can build a castle from a single grain of sand

I can make a ship sail, huh, on dry land

But my life is incomplete and I'm so blue

'Cause I can't get next to you

Next to you

I just can't get next you

I can fly like a bird in the sky

Hey, and I can buy anything that money can buy

Oh, I can turn a river into a raging fire

I can live forever if I so desire

Unimportant are all the things I can do

'Cause I can't get next to you

No matter what I do

Uh-yah

Ooh

Ooh

Chicka boom, chicka boom

Chicka boom, boom, boom

I can turn back the hands of time

You better believe I can

I can make the seasons change just by waving my hand

Oh, 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 can't get next to you

Girl, you're blowing my mind

'Cause I can't get (next to you)

Can't you see these tears I'm crying?

I can't get (next to you)

Girl, it's you that I need

I gotta get (next to you)

Can't you see these tears I'm crying?

I can't get (next to you)

I, I, I, I

I can't get (next to you)

I, I, I, I

I can't get (next to you)

Girl, you're blowing my mind
