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.

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.
