Turn It Around
Alena Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Turn it around, baby
Spend more time with me
Try to believe you
Try to believe you...

Turn it around, baby
Spend more time with me
It's getting insane, I know
Let it not be true...

Turn it around baby...
Turn it around...

I need you
I can only be myself with you
I need you
I can only be myself with you
I can only be myself...

Turn it around (x6)

Turn it around, baby
Let us break the rules
You know I need you
I need to feel you

Turn it around baby
And find me here
Waiting for you babe
only for you babe

I need you
I can only be myself with you
I need you




I can only be myself with you
I can only be myself...
