Can’t Get Next to You

[Intro]
Mmm

[Verse 1]
I can turn gray skies blue
I can make it rain when I want it to
Oh, I can make castles from a grain of sand
(I) I can make a ship sail on dry land

[Pre-Chorus]
Unhappy am I, all the powers I possess
'Cause girl, you're the key to my happiness

[Chorus]
Can't get next to you, babe (Oh)
Can't get next to you (I'm tryin')
Can't get next to you, babe
Can't get next to you

[Verse 2]
I can fly like a bird in the sky
(I) I can buy anything money can buy
(Oh, I) See, I can turn a river into a raging fire
(I) I can live forever if I so desire

[Pre-Chorus]
Unhappy am I, all the powers and power I possess
But girl, you're the key to my happiness

[Chorus]
Can't get next to you, babe (And I can't either)
Can't get next to you (I try, I try, I try)
Can't get next to you, babe (Ooh)
Can't get next to you (Hey, yeah)

[Post-Chorus]
Mmm, mmm
Hey, hey, hey

[Bridge]
Hey, well
Oh, I
Oh, I
Can't, can't, can't get next to you, mmm hmm hmm

[Verse 3]
(I) I can turn back the hands of time, you better believe I can
(I) I can make the seasons change just by waving my hands
(Oh, I) I can change anything from old to new, y'all
(Oh, I) And the things I wanna do the most, I'm not able to do

[Pre-Chorus]
Unhappy am I, all the powers I possess
'Cause girl, you're the key to my happiness
And I, oh I, I can't get next to you

[Chorus]
Can't get next to you, babe (I can't next to you)
Can't get next to you (Hey, hey, hey babe)
Can't get next to you, babe (Ooh, tryin' to get by)
Can't get next to you (Hey)
Can't get next to you, babe (Come on, baby)
Can't get next to you (I want to get next to you)
Can't get next to you, babe (Come on, come on)
Can't get next to you (Hey, next, next, next to you)

[Outro]
Can't get next to you (Well)
Can't get next to you
Can't get next to you (What you say)
Can't get next to you
Can't get next to you (Hey)
Can't get next to you (Say you're holdin' me off)
Can't get next to you (Mmm)
Can't get next to you (I, I, I)
Can't get next to you (And I wanna moan, y'all)
Can't get next to you (Heh, I wanna moan, y'all)
I can't get next to you (It's a feeling right here)
Can't get next to you (Think I'm gonna sing)
Oh, I can't get next to you (Ooh)
Can't get next to you (Huh)
I can't get next to you
