Original Broadway Cast Of Aint Too Proud -
Ain't Too Proud: The Life and Times of The Temptations (Original Broadway Cast Recording)
I Can't Get Next to You
I
Can turn the gray sky blue
I can make it rain whenever I want to
Oh, 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 (I can't get next to you, babe)
I can't get next to you (I just can't)
I can't get next to you, babe
I can't get next to you, oh
I
Can fly like a bird in the sky
I can buy anything that money can't buy
Oh, I can turn a river into a raging fire
I can live forever if I so desire
Unimportant are all these things I can do
I can't get next to you (I can't get next to you, babe)
I can't get next to you
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Chicka-boom, chicka-boom
Chicka-boo-oo-oom
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
And I, whoa, I
We were back on the scene and taking a hell of a risk
With Dennis Edwards as our new temp
Oh, we weren't sure what folks were gonna think about that
Ruffin's fans might abandon us for sure
But after picking up a few more Grammys and selling out concerts
We knew we hadn't lost our folks
It was sad to let Ruffin go
But I can't lie: We didn't miss his shenanigans
And we didn't have to
Every now and again, we'd be in the middle of a show
And this brother would come from nowhere
And grab the mic!
My life is incomplete and I'm so blue
'Cause I, whoa, I
Can't get next to you
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?
Can't get next to you
I, I, I, I can't get next, next, next to you
I, I, I, I
Next to you
Can turn the gray sky blue
I can make it rain whenever I want to
Oh, 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 (I can't get next to you, babe)
I can't get next to you (I just can't)
I can't get next to you, babe
I can't get next to you, oh
I
Can fly like a bird in the sky
I can buy anything that money can't buy
Oh, I can turn a river into a raging fire
I can live forever if I so desire
Unimportant are all these things I can do
I can't get next to you (I can't get next to you, babe)
I can't get next to you
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Chicka-boom, chicka-boom
Chicka-boo-oo-oom
I can turn back the hands of time, you better believe I can
I can make the seasons change just by waving my hand

Can't get next to you
I, I, I, I can't get next, next, next to you
I, I, I, I
Next to you
