Intro : (x4)
I can turn
the gr ey sky blue
And I can make it rain
W henever I want it to
And I can build a castle
From a single grain of sand
And I can make a ship sail
On dr y land
But m y life is incomplete
A nd I'm so blue
'Cause I .....c an't get next to you ( I can't get next to youbabe)
I can't get next to you
I can't get next to youbabe
I can't get next to you
(x2)
I can fly
Like a bird in the sky
I can buy anything
That m oney can buy
I can turn a river
into a raging fire
I can live forever
if I so desire
B ut I don't want it
a ll these things I can do
' Cause I ....c an't get next to you (I can't get next to youbabe)
I can't get next to you
I can't get next to youbabe
I can't get next to you
I can't get next to you babe
I can't get next to you
(x4)
I can turn back the hands of time
Y ou better believe I can
I can make the seasons change
J ust by the wave of my hand
I can change anything
f rom one to two
T he thing I wanna do the most
I 'm unable to do
I 'm an unhappy woman
w ith all the powers I possess
' Cause man you're the ke y to my happiness
'Cause I.....c N.C. an't get to next to you
Ooh you 're blowin' my mind
' Cause I can't get next to you
