The Temptations: I Can't Get Next To You

I
Dennis: Can turn a gray sky blue.
Melvin: I can make it rain, whenever I wanted to.
Oh, I
Eddie: I can build a castle from a single grain of sand.
Paul: I can make a ship sail, uh, on dry land.

Dennis: 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
Dennis: Can fly like a bird in the sky.
Eddie: Hey, and I can buy anything that money can buy.
Oh, I
Paul: I can turn a river into a raging fire.
Melvin: I can live forever if I so desired.

Eddie: 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-ya

Chica boom, chica boom
Chica boom, boom, boom

Dennis: I can turn back the hands of time, you better believe I can.
I
Otis: I can make the seasons change, just by waving my hand.
Oh, I
Eddie: I can change anything from old to new.
Paul: The things I want to do the most, I'm unable to do.

Dennis: Unhappy am I with all the powers I possess. 'Cause girl you're the key to my happiness.
Eddie: And I

Can't get next to you.
