I can turn your gray sky blue   I could make it rain whenever I wanted to   I can build a castle from a single grain of sand   I can make a ship sail 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)   Next to you, I just can't get next to you)   (I can't get next to you)      I can fly like a bird in the sky   Hey, and I can buy anything that money can buy   I can turn a river into a ragin' fire   I could live forever if I so desired   Unimportant are all these things I can do   'Cause I can't get next to you   No matter what I do      I can turn back the hands of time   You'd better believe I can   I can make the seasons change   Just by a wave of my hand   I can change anything from old to new   The thing 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, wo I...can't get next to you      Girl, 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)   Girl, it's you that I need; I gotta get (next to you)   Can't you see these tears I'm cryin'?...
