How Can I Get Next To You

How can I get next to you
 When everyone else tryin' to get next to you
 Listen, baby
 How can I get next to you
 When everyone else tryin' to get next to you
 I heard Bobby Womack told you on the telephone line
 That girl you were runnin' out of time
 He said, 'That's the way I feel about you"
 Ooh baby, That's the way I feel about you"
 How can I get next to you
 When everyone else tryin' to get next to you
 Tell me that, girl
 How can I get next to you
 When everyone else tryin' to get next to you
 Listen, baby
 You said goodbye to Womack and split the scene
 I thought I had it made and I heard about you and Al Green
 And I said, "Let's, ought to stay together"
 "When the times are good and bad, happy or sad"
 Baby, baby, baby
 Don't seem fair sometime, baby
 Listen, baby
 Johnnie Taylor told you that "I believe in you"
 Rufus Thomas tryin' to walk your dog too, now
 James Brown said, "Please don't go"
 Clarence Carter claimed "I'm too weak to fight any more',' now baby
 Tell me
 How can I get next to you
 When everyone else tryin' to get next to you, baby
 How can I get next to you
 When everyone else tryin' to get next to you, baby
 Even Marvin Gaye, you told him, "Let's get it on"
 And he said you were his joy
 And he been waitin' for too long on you, baby
 How can I get next to you, oh baby
 When everyone else tryin' to get next to you
 Hey baby, baby, oh baby
 Tryin' to get next to you, baby
 That's all I wanna do
