And I can make it rain, when-ever I want it to.

And I can make a ship sail, uh, on dry land.

Can t get next to you, babe, I can t get next to you.
Can t get next to you, babe, I can t get next to you.
Verse 2:
I can fly, like a bird in the sky,
And I can buy any-thing, that money can buy.
Oh, I can turn a river, into a ragin fire,
I can live forever, If I so desire.
Chorus 2:
Unim-portant are all the things I can do,
Cos I can t get next to you.
Can t get next to you, babe, I can t get next to you.
