I,
|
oh I,
|
can turn a gray sky blue,
|
you see, I can make it rain when I want it to
|
oh I,
|
can build a castle from a single grain of sand
|
you see, I can make a ship sail on dry land.
|
Ain't happy am I with all the powers that I possess,
|
girl, you're the key to my happiness,
|
and I can't get next to you, babe
|
can't get next to you.
|
I've been trying a long time
|
I don't know what to do
|
Oooooo
|
Let me say,
|
|
I,
|
I can fly like a bird in the sky
|
I can buy anything that money can buy
|
Oh I,
|
can turn a river into a raging flood
|
I can live forever if I so decide
|
Ain't happy am I with all the powers that I possess,
|
oh, you're the key, 'cause
|
I can't get next to you, babe
|
can't get next to you.
|
I've been trying for such a long time
|
|
[Solo]
|
|
Let me tell you that
|
|
I,
|
I can turn back the hands of time
|
you better believe I can
|
Oh I, you see, I can make the seasons change
|
just by waving my hand
|
Let me say,
|
|
I,
|
I can change anything from old to new, girl,
|
oh I, all the things I want to do the most,
|
you see, I'm unable to do
|
unimportant, all these things that I'm trying to do the other day, girl,
|
you see, I can't get next to you, baby
|
can't get next to you
|
I've been tryin a long time...
|
oh if somebody'd only help me...
|
oh, let me, let me go...
|
whooooo...
|
|
I,
|
I've been working on it baby
|
I've been thinking about it you see,
|
I've been trying to call you all day long but, you see,
|
I don't have your phone number, honey
|
I,
|
I've been thinking about you baby something awful,
|
you see, sometime I feel like I want to moan about it
|
and I just don't know what to say
|
and I say
|
Mmmmmm...
