Savoy Brown › Lyrics › I Can't Get Next to You

I can turn the gray sky blue
I can make it rain when I want it too
I can build a castle from a single grain of sand
I can make a ship sail on dry land

Unhappy am I with all the powers I possess
Honey, you got the key to my happiness and I

Can't get next to you babe, can't get next to you
Can't get next to you babe, 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
And I can live forever if my soul desires

Unhappy am I with all the powers I possess
Honey, you got the key to my happiness and I

Can't get next to you babe, can't get next to you
(No I can't, but I'm tryin')
Can't get next to you babe, can't get next to you
(You never know how hard, yeah)

I can turn back the hands of time, you better believe I can
And I can make the seasons change, just by waving my hand
I can change anything from old to new
All the things I wanna do the most
You know that they are impossible for me to do

Unimportant are these things that I am tryin' to do
You see you got the key to my happiness and I

Can't get next to you babe, can't get next to you
(And I really want to get next to you)
Can't get next to you babe, can't get next to you
(And I've been callin' you everyday, can't find your number)

Unhappy am I with all the powers I possess
You see baby, I got the key to my happiness and I

Can't get next to you babe, can't get next to you
(I want to and I've been tryin')
Can't get next to you babe, can't get next to you
(Draggin' myself through the mud, yeah)

I can turn back the hands of time, you better believe I can
I can make the seasons change, just by waving of my hand
I can change anything from old to new
But all the things I wanna do the most
You know that they are impossible for me to do

Unhappy am I with all the powers I possess
You see honey, you got the key to my happiness

And I can't get next to you babe, can't get next to you
(And I'm really trying, I've been callin' you everyday)
Can't get next to you babe, can't get next to you
(Well I can't find your number, I'm glad you are my second home)

Can't get next to you babe, can't get next to you
(Come on hang with me, 'cause I'm around)
Can't get next to you babe, can't get next to you
(I'm gonna give in to your fear, and I wanna give it to you, baby)
