I Cant Get Next To You - Lyrics by Annie Lennox


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
