I Can't Get Next To You (Complete version originally performed by The Temptations) - Various Artists

Written by：Norman Whitfield/Barrett Strong

I can turn the gray sky blue

I can make it rain

Whenever I want it to

Oh 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 baby

Next to you

I can't get next to you

I just can't get next you

I can't get next to you baby

I can't get next to you

I can fly like a bird in the sky

And I can buy anything

That money can buy

Oh I can turn a river into a raging fire

I can live forever if I so desire

Unimportant are all the things I can do

'Cause I can't get next to you

I can't get next to you baby

No matter what I do

I can't get next to you

Ooh oh oh

Ooh oh

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 waving my hand

Oh I can change anything from old to new

The things I want to do the most

I'm unable to do

But Unhappy am I

With all the powers I possess

Just 'cause

You got the key to my happiness

And I oh I can't get next to you

Girl you're blowing my mind

'Cause I can't get next to you

Can't you see these tears I'm crying

I can't get next to you

Girl it's you that I need

I gotta get next to you

Can't you see these tears I'm crying

I can't get next to you

I I I I

I can't get next to you

I I I I
