Intro

(Spoken):

Hold it, hold it, listen...

(Piano):

Verse 1

I, can turn a grey sky blue,

And I can make it rain, when-ever I want it to.

Oh, I can build a castle, from a single grain of sand,

And I can make a ship sail, uh, on dry land.

Chorus 1

But my life is incom-plete and I'm so blue.

'Cos I can't get next to you.

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

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

Verse 2

I can fly, like a bird in the sky,

And I can buy any-thing, that money can buy.

Oh, I can turn a river, into a ragin' fire,

I can live forever, If I so desire.

Chorus 2

Unim-portant are all the things I can do,

'Cos I can't get next to you.

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

Break

Interlude

Ooh-ooh ooh, ooh ooh, ooh.

Ooh-ooh ooh, ooh ooh, ooh.

Chick--boom, chick--boom,

Chick-a-boom, boom, boom, boom.

Verse 3

I can turn back the hands of time; you better believe I can.

I can make the season change, just by wavin' my hand.

Oh, I can change any-thing from old to new.

The thing I want to do the most; I'm unable to do.

Chorus 3

Unhappy am I, with all the powers I possess.

'Cos girl, you're the key to my happiness.

And I...

Coda

Cant get next to you, (girl, you're blowin' my mind).

'Cos I cant get ne-ext to you. Can't you see these tears I'm crying?

I cant get ne-ext to you. Girl, it's you I need, I gotta get;

Ne-ext to you. Can't you see these tears I'm crying?

I cant get ne-ext to you.
