Can't Get Next To You Songtext / Lyric

(Whitfield/Strong)



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

Next to you, I just 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 raging 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)
