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 
(*Repeat) 
I can turn back the hands of time 
You better believe I can 
I can make the season 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 
Can't get next to you 
I,I,I,I,I,I
