Lyrics

I
Dennis: can turn the greyest sky blue
Melvin: I can make it rain, whenever I want it to
Oh, i
Eddie: I can build a castle from a single grain of sand
Paul: I can make a ship sail, uh, on dry land

Dennis: 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
Dennis: can fly like a bird in the sky
Eddie: hey, and I can buy anything that money can buy
Oh, i
Paul: I can turn a river into a raging fire
Melvin: I can live forever if I so desired

Eddie: 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-ya

[Instrumental]

Ooo-ooo
Ooo-ooo
Chica boom, chica boom
Chica boom, boom, boom

Dennis: I can turn back the hands of time, you better believe I can
I
Otis: I can make the seasons change, just by waving my hand
Oh, i
Eddie: I can change anything from old to new
Paul: the things I want to do the most, I'm unable to do

Dennis: unhappy am I with all the powers I possess. 'cause girl you're the key to my happiness
Eddie: and i

Can't get next to you

Dennis:
Girl, you're blowing my mind 'cause I can't get...(next to you...babe)
Can't you see these tears I'm crying? I can't get... (next to you....babe)
Girl, it's you that I need. I gotta get...(next to you...babe)
Can't you see these tears I'm crying? I can't get... (next to you...babe)
I, i, i, i... I can't get...(next to you...babe)
I, i, i, i... I can't get...(next to you...babe)
Girl, you're blowing my mind..
