I can turn the grey 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  
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  
 
I can fly 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 live forever if I so desire  
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 turn back 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 to next to you  
 
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 
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, I can't get next to you 
I, I, I, I, I, I, I can't get next to you
