Annie Lennox - I Can't Get Next To You lyrics

(Strong/Whitfield)

I can turn the grey sky blue

And I can make it rain

Whenever I want it to

And I can build a castle

From a single grain of sand

And 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 can't get next to you,babe

I can't get next to you

I can fly

Like a bird in the sky

I can buy anything

That money can buy

I can turn a river into a raging fire

I can live forever if I so desire

But I don't want it all these things I can do

'Cause I can't get next to you

(*Repeat)

I can turn back the hands of time

You better believe I can

I can make the season change

Just by the wave of my hand

I can change anything from one to two

The thing I wanna do the most I'm unable to do

I'm an unhappy woman with all the powers I possess

'Cause man you're the key to my happiness

'Cause I can't get to next to you

Ooh 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

Oh it's you that I need

I gotta get next to you

Can't you see these tears I'm cryin'

Can't get next to you

I,I,I,I,I,I

Can't get next to you

I,I,I,I,I,I

Can't get next to you
