Lyrics ~ Abbey Road Session 7.9.1992 version
Oh I fight cleanly
You throw dirt
When I use silence
You shoot me down with words
I’m free and easy
You’re all attitude
When I stay peaceful
You, you just blow a fuse
Oh oh
I can’t get through to you (oh 0h)
You can’t get through to me (oh 0h)
You got your way I got my way (oh 0h)
I can’t get through to you (oh 0h)
You can’t get through to me (oh 0h)
You ain’t got the power to touch me
I can’t get through to you
You can’t get through to me
You can’t get through to me
I want for nothing
You crave for more
You scream and shout
And you bang your head
Against the wall
Because I’ve got faith, I believe
I can say I’ve been released
I’ve been set free
By the healing hand
Oh oh
I can’t get through to you (oh 0h)
You can’t get through to me (oh 0h)
You ain’t got the power to touch me (oh 0h)
I can’t get through to you (oh 0h)
You can’t get through to me (oh 0h)
You ain’t got the power to touch me (oh 0h)
I can’t get through to you
You can’t get through to me
You can’t get through
Ah no, you can’t get through
You can’t get through to me
No way
Oh oh
I can’t get through to you (oh 0h)
You can’t get through to me (oh 0h)
You got your way and I got my way (oh 0h)
I can’t get through to you (oh 0h)
You can’t get through to me (oh 0h)
You ain’t got the power to touch me (oh 0h)
Oh oh, oh oh
You I can’t get through
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
