(Whitfield/Strong) I can turn your gray sky blue I could make it rain whenever I wanted to I can build a castle from a single grain of sand I can make a ship sail on dry land But my life is incomplete and I'm so blue 'Cause I can't get next to you Next to you, I just can't get next to you I can fly like a bird in the sky Hey, and I can buy anything that money can buy I can turn a river into a raging fire I could live forever if I so desired Unimportant are all these things I can do 'Cause I can't get next to you No matter what I do I can turn back the hands of time You'd better believe I can I can make the seasons change Just by a wave of my hand I can change anything from old to new The thing 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 And I, wo, I can't get next to you Girl, 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) Girl, it's you that I need; I gotta get (next to you)
