You Can't Turn Me Away
You better believe in your heart I always want to stay

Don't try to turn me off
When you think you found somebody new, No No Noooo
Don't Try to Put me Down
Just because she came around, and I said that you can't

You know in your heart I'm the best for you
So don't try, to turn me away
Don't try to put me down
Just because she came around
Don't Try to turn me away, 'cause you can't

You know in your heart I'm the best for you
Don't Try to put me Down
Don't think that you can put me down, oh no
Just because she came around and you can't

I Need Your Lovin' I'll Never Give In (Baby You Got It)
I Need Your Lovin' I'll Never Give In (Baby I Need It)
