(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)
