Lyrics

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 Next to you I just can't get next 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 No matter what I do Uh-yah Ooh Ooh 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
