I Can't Get Next to You

Dee Dee Bridgewater

I,
Oh I,
I, oh yes, oh
I can turn the gray sky blue, I
I can make it rain, when I want it to, I
I can build a castle from a single grain of sand, I
You see I can make a ship sail on dry land
Unhappy am I with all the powers I possess
Boy, you're the key to my happiness 
And I can't get next to you, babe
I am trying a long time
I don't know what to do

I,
Oh I,
I, Lord
I can fly like a bird up in the sky, oh I
And I can buy anything that money can buy I
Can turn a river into a raging fire, oh I
And I can live forever if I so desire,
But unhappy am I with all the power I possess, boy
'Cause boy, you're the key to my happiness 
Oh, can you hear me?
I'm trying to make my way to you, baby
I don't know what to do 

~~~♫♫♫~~~

Let me tell that I
I can turn back the hands of time, oh I
I can take and make the season's change just by waving my hand, oh I
I can change anything from old to new, oh baby, I
All the things I want to do the most,  I'm unable to do, 
Unimportant these things that I'm trying to do here today
'Cause boy, you see, I just
Can't get next to you 
I'm trying, I'm trying, I'm trying, I'm trying, I'm trying
I can't get next to you, boy
Can't get next to you 
Let me go
Can't get next to you 
I'm trying
Can't get next to you
It's been so long
Can't get next to you 
I'm trying
Can't get next to you, babe
Ooo Ooo
Can't get next to you 
Ooo Ooo Ooo
Can't get next to you...
