Lyrics

[Intro] Hold it, everybody Hold it, hold it Listen ... [Verse 1] I can turn the greyest sky blue I can make it rain whenever I want it to Oh, I can build a castle from a single grain of sand I can make a ship sail high on dry land [Chorus] 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) 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) [Verse 2] I can fly like a bird in the sky Hey, and I can buy anything that money can buy Oh, I can turn a river into a raging fire I can live forever if I so desire [Chorus] Unimportant are all the things I can do 'Cause I can't get next to you (I can't get next to you, babe) No matter what I do (I can't get next to you) Uh-yah! [Bridge 1] Ooh Ooh Chicka boom, chicka boom Chicka boom, boom, boom [Verse 3] I can turn back the hands of time, you better believe I can I can make the seasons change just by waving my hand Oh, I can change anything from old to new The things I want to do the most, I'm unable to do [Bridge 2] Unhappy am I with all the powers I possess 'Cause, girl, you're the key to my happiness And I, oh I can't get next to you [Chorus] Girl, you're blowing my mind 'Cause I can't get (next to you) Can't you see these tears I'm crying? I can't get (next to you) Girl, it's you that I need I gotta get (next to you) Can't you see these tears I'm crying? I can't get (next to you) I, I, I, I, I can't get (next to you) I, I, I, I, I can't get, now (next to you) Girl, you're blowing my mind 'Cause I can't get ...
