That old Motown Special coming into town tonight.
She'll come a romping, come a roaring, gonna make everybody feel
Alright!
My world is empty without you babe
My world is empty without you babe
And as I go my way along
I find it hard for me to carry on
I need your strength, I need your tender touch
I need the love I fear I miss so much
I need love now more than before
I can't hardly carry on anymore
I'm gonna make you love me, ooo yes I will, yes I will
I'm gonna make you love me, ooo yes I will, you know I will
Oh yes I will
I can turn the greyest 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 to you
I can fly like a bird in the sky
Hey, 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
I don't want all these things I can do
Cause I can't get next to you
No matter what I do
Next to you, chick-a-boom, chick-a-boom
Next to you, chick-a-boom-boom-boom
Next to you, chick-a-boom, chick-a-boom
Next to you, chick-a-boom-boom-boom
And I, wooh 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
Gotta get, gotta get, gotta get, gotta get
Gotta get next to you
