Lyrics Annie Lennox

Annie Lennox

I Can't Get Next to You

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

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 turn back the hands of time - you better believe I can

I can make the seasons 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, I can't get next to you

I, I, I, I, I, I, I can't get next to you
