I Can't Get Next to You (Live) - The Temptations

Hold it, everybody

Hold it, hold it, listen

I can turn the gray sky blue

I can make it rain

Whenever I want it to

Oh, I can build a castle

From a single grain of sand

I can make a ship sail

Huh, 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

(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 can fly like a bird in the sky

Hey, and I can buy anything

That money can buy

Oh, I can turn a river into a raging fire

I can live forever if I so desire

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-yeah

Ooh, woo, ooh, woo

Ooh, woo, ooh, woo

Chicka boom, chicka boom

Chicka boom, boom, boom

I can turn back the hands of time

You better believe I can

I can make the seasons change

Just by waving my hand

Oh, I can change anything from old to new

The things I want to do the most

I'm unable to do

Unhappy am I with all the powers I possess

'Cause girl you're the key to my happiness

And I can't get next to you

Girl, you're blowing my mind

'cause I can't get (Next to you)

Can't you see these tears I'm crying?

I can't get (Next to you)

Girl, it's you that I need

I gotta get (Next to you)

Can't you see these tears I'm crying?

I can't get (Next to you)

I, I, I, I

I can't get (Next to you)

I, I, I, I

I can't get (Next to you)

Girl, you're blowing my mind
