I Can't Get Next To You

(I) my, my, my, my (oh, I)
Can turn a gray sky blue
You see, I can make it rain when I want it to (oh, I)
Can build a castle from a single grain of sand, yeah (I)
You see, I can make a ship sail on dry land, yeah

Unhappy am I with all the powers that I possess, yeah
Girl, you're the key to my happiness, and I

(Can't get next to you, babe) ooh, Lord
(Can't get next to you)
I've been trying a long time
(Can't get next to you, babe)
I don't know what to do, ooh

Let me say
(I) my, my, my, my
(Oh, I) oh, Lord

I can fly like a bird in the sky (oh, I)
I can buy anything that money can buy (oh, I)
Can turn a river into a raging fire (oh, I)
I can live forever if I so desire, yeah

Unhappy am I with all the powers that I possess, yeah
Girl, you're the key 'cause I...

(Can't get next to you, babe) baby, baby
(Can't get next to you)
I've been trying for such a long time
(I can't get next to you, babe)
(I can't get next to you)
Oh, come on

Let me tell you that
I can turn back the hands of time
You better believe I can (oh, I)
You see, I can make the seasons change
Just by waving my hand
Let me say (I)
I can change anything from old to new, girl (oh, I)
And all the things I wanna do the most
You see, I'm unable to do

Unimportant are all these things that I'm trying to do here today
But girl, you see, I

(Can't get next to you, babe)
I've been trying a long time
(Can't get next to you)
Oh, somebody oughta help me
(Can't get next to you, babe)
Oh, let me, let me go
(I can't get next to you)
Woo, woo, let me (I)

Lord, I've been working on it, baby
I've been thinking about it (oh, I)
You see, I've been trying to call you all day long
But, you see, I don't have your phone number, honey (I)
I've been, I've been thinking about you baby, something awful, you see, I (oh, I)
Sometime I feel like I wanna moan about it, and I just don't know what to say
And I say
Yee...
