Just Can't Seem to Get Next to You

I've been wanting you for a long time

You've become more than a friend of mine

No matter what you say or do

In my heart I know that I love you

You don't seem to know the change in me

Maybe it's that you're too close to see

Oh, I just can't seem to get next to you

I don't know what to do, I can't get through

Oh, I just can't seem to get next to you

Don't know why my heart cries

But please, don't pass me by

Searching all this time for the right way

I still can't find the words to say

And maybe you won't understand

If I should reach out and touch your hand

So I keep on hoping desperately

You will be the one to come to me

Oh, I just can't seem to get next to you

I don't know what to do, I can't get through

Oh, I just can't seem to get next to you

Don't know why my heart cries

But please, don't pass me by

Oh, oh, I can't

I can't get next to you, baby

Don't know what to do

Honey, I can't get through, I can't get through

So hard I try

Ooh girl, I can't get through

I just can't get through to you

But I'll keep trying, baby

Oh yeah yeah, don't pass me by

Don't you, don't you know, baby
