I Can't Get Next To You - The Temptations (1969)

I...

Can turn a grey sky blue, uh...

I can make it rain,

Whenever I want it to, huh!

I can build a castle

From a single grain of sand

I can make a ship sail, huh,

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 can't get next to you babe,

I can't get next to you, I...

Can fly like a bird in the sky

Hey, I can buy anything

That money can buy

Oh, I...

I can turn a river

Into a ragin' fire

I can live forever,

If I so desire

Unimportant, are all these things

I can do

'Cause I can't get next to you

I can't get next to you babe

I can't get next to you, I...

Wooo, oooh-oooh

Wooo, oooh-oooh

Chicka boom, chicka boom

Chicka boom-boom-boom

I can turn back the hands of time...

You better believe I can

I can make the seasons change

Just by a wave of my hand

Oh, I...

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

Can't get next to you

Girl, you blowin' my mind

'Cause I can't get...

Next to you

Can't you see these tears

I'm crying, I can't get uh...

Next to you

Girl, it's you that I need...

I gotta' get...

Next to you

Can't you see these tears

I'm cryin, I can't get...

Next to you

I, I, I, I, I can't get now...

Next to you

I, I, I, I, I can't get now

Next to you

Girl, you blowin' my mind...
