I Can't Get Next to You
I Can’t Get Next To You
By Norman Whitfield & Barrett Strong

I Can turn the gray sky blue
I can make it rain, whenever I want it to, oh I
I can build a castle from a single grain of sand
I can make a ship sail, on dry land tell 'em yeah
But my life is incomplete and I'm so blue
'Cause I can't get next to you

CHORUS:
I can't get next to you, babe (next to you)
I can't get next to you (I just can't get next 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
Hey, and I can buy anything that money can't buy
I can turn a river into a raging fire
I can live forever if I so desired
Unimportant are all the things I can do
'Cause I can't get next to you

CHORUS

I can turn back the hands of time, you better believe I can
I can make the seasons change, just by waving my hand
I can change anything from old to new
The things 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

CHORUS
