Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I can turn the gray sky blue

And I can make it rain whenever I want it to

And I can build a castle from a single grain of sand

And I can make a ship sail on dry land

[Verse 2]

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't get next to you, babe, I can't get next to you

[Verse 3]

I can fly like a bird in the sky

And I can buy anything that money ca buy

I can turn a river into a ragin' fire

I can live forever if I so desire

[Verse 4]

But I don't want it, all these things I can do

'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't get next to you, babe, I can't get next to you

[Verse 5]

I can turn the hands of time, you better believe I can

I can make the seasons 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 unable to do

I'm an unhappy woman with all the powers I possess

'Cause, man, you're the key to my happiness

'Cause I can't get next to you

[Verse 6]

Ooh, you're blowin' 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

[Verse 7]

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

[Verse 8]

I, I, I, I, I, I, I (Can't get next to you)

I, I, I, I, I, I, I (Can't get next to you)

I, I, I, I, I, I, I (Can't get next to you)

I, I, I, I, I, I, I (Can't get next to you)
