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

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

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
I, I, I, I, I, I
Can't get next to you
I, I, I, I, I, I
Can't get next to you
