(Spoken):

  Hold it, hold it, listen...

(Piano):

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.

Break

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.
