ANNIE LENNOX LYRICS



"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
