I Can’t Think of a Thing At All
[Verse 1: Paul Williams & The Temptations]
Now if a rock should separate us
I'm gonna think of a way I can move that rock
(Move the rock, move the rock)
And if the clock should keep me waiting
I'm gonna think of a way I can speed up the clock
(Speed the clock, speed the clock)
And if a wall is between us
I'm gonna think of a way I can climb that wall
[Chorus: Paul Williams & The Temptations]
I tried to think of something I wouldn't do
Baby, to get a little closer to you—you know what?
I couldn't think of a thing at all
I couldn't think of a thing at all
[Verse 2: Paul Williams & The Temptations]
Now if opinion should become between us
I'm gonna think of a way we can reach an agreement
(An agreement, an agreement)
And if a brick floor should be between us
I'm gonna think of a way I can dig through the cement
(Through the cement, through the cement)
If there's a ball of fire between us
I'm gonna think of a way to get through that ball
[Chorus: Paul Williams & The Temptations]
I triеd to think of something I wouldn't do
Baby, to get a little closеr to you—you know what?
I couldn't think of a thing at all (Baby)
I couldn't think of a thing at all (Mmm)
[Instrumental Break]
[Bridge: Paul Williams]
Yeah, yeah
[Verse 3: Paul Williams & The Temptations]
Now if a million miles should separate us
I'm gonna think of a way I can cross those miles
(Cross the miles, cross the miles)
And if my actions begin to bore ya
I'm gonna think of a way I can change my style
(Change my style, change my style)
If there's a burning hall between us
I'm gonna think of a way to get down that hall
[Chorus: Paul Williams & The Temptations]
I tried to think of something I wouldn't do
Hey, to get a little closer to you—you know what?
I couldn't think of a thing at all (Really baby)
I couldn't think of a thing at all
[Outro: Paul Williams & The Temptations]
Hear what I say
I couldn't think of a thing at all
Babe, when I tell ya
I couldn't think of a thing at all
I tried and I tried
I couldn't think of a thing at all
