The Osmonds (song) I Can't Get Next To You

I Can't Get Next To You Babe (Album - Love Me For A Reason 1974 MGM)
The Osmonds

I can't, I can't get, I can't get next, next to you
I can turn the grey sky blue
Oh I can make it rain when ever I want it to
Oh I can build a castle from a single grain of sand
And I can make a ship sail on dry land

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 babe)
I just can't get next to you
(I can't get next to you babe)
Next to you
(I can't get next to you)

Oh 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 fire
I can live forever if I so desire

Unimportant are all these things I can do
Cause I can't get next to you
Can't get next to you babe
No matter what I do
I can't get next to you

I, I can't, I can't get, I can't get next, next to you
Oooh oooh next to you
Chicka bomb chicka bomb next to you chicka bomb bomb bomb

I can turn back the hands of time you better believe I can
Oh I can make the seasons change just by waving my hand
I can change anything from old to new
The thing I want to do the most I am unable to do

Unhappy am I with all the powers I possess
Cause girl you're the key to my happiness
And I oh I I can't get next to you

Girl you're blowing my mind cause I can't get a (next to you)
Can't you see the tears I cry gotta get (next to you)
Girl its you I need gotta get (next to you)
I can turn the sky to blue but I can't get a (next to you)
I need you so bad but I can't get a (next to you)
(fade)

Wow, a much better imitation than I thought it'd be.

[TroyDavidAlexander]

I was shocked to death about how good this rendition is! Unfairly enough, I know little to nothing about this act other than that corny duet between Donny and Marie. Something like "I'm alil motown and im alil country" idunno. I came into this thinkin id get a laugh. I did laugh, but out of amazement. AWESOME!!!!

@vanibat Sounds like Merrill to me. That man can sing anything. Love his voice.

Hi Lyn, can you tell me in this version, which of the brothers sing these lines: "I can buy anything that money can't buy" and "Unhappy am I with all the powers I possess, 'cos girl you're the key to my happiness". Was it Alan or Merril, or both, or...Thanks a lot!

I Love The Temptations. I was prepared NOT to like this. Don't get me wrong, I like The Osmonds. But, I love The Tempts. The boys did a good job with this, it had a AWB sound to it. Did I mention, I love The Tempts?
