I can't get next to you, babe
I can't get next to you
'Cause I can't get next to you
Can't you see these tears I'm cryin'
I gotta get next to you
'Cause I can't get next to you

Oh it's you that I need
I can turn back the hands of time

But I don't want it
Can't you see these tears I'm cryin'

I can turn a river into a raging fire
I can buy anything

Ooh you're blowin' my mind
I can't get next to you
I can fly like a bird in the sky
Can't get next to you
I can't get next to you, babe
I can't get next to you, babe
Can't get next to you
And I can build a castle
I can't get next to you
I, I, I, I, I, I
I can make the season change
And I'm so blue
On dry land

I can't get next to you
I can't get next to you
I can change anything from one to two
Can't get next to you
You better believe I can

'Cause I can't get to next to you
All these things I can do
Can't get next to you
I can't get next to you, babe
The thing I wanna do the most I'm unable to do
I, I, I, I, I, I
'Cause man you're the key to my happiness
Can't get next to you

I can't get next to you
I'm an unhappy woman with all the powers I possess
Just by the wave of my hand
I can't get next to you, babe
I, I, I, I, I, I
And I can make a ship sail
That money can buy
Whenever I want it to
'Cause I can't get next to you
But my life is incomplete

From a single grain of sand
I, I, I, I, I, I

I can live forever if I so desire
