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 [bad word] 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 

 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 turn back the hands of time - you better believe I can 
 I can make the seasons 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, I can't get next to you
 I, I, I, I, I, I, I can't get next to you
