The Temptations – I Can't Get Next to You (Single Version) Lyrics

R&B

Hold it, everybody
Hold it, hold it, listen

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, babe
(Next to you)
I can't get next to you
(I just can't get next 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
Hey, 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, babe
(No matter what I do)
I can't get next to you, uh-yeah

Ooh, woo, ooh, woo
Ooh, woo, ooh, woo
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

Unhappy am I with all the powers I possess
'Cause girl you're the key to my happiness
And 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
I can't get (Next to you)
Girl, you're blowing my mind
