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)
