Don't Turn Around
Black Ivory Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I never meant to hurt you
& you always said you'd be my fool
(Now that it's done)
Believe me, girl, I'm sorry
& you know I'll make it up to you
So
'Cause nothing in the past will change
Don't turn around
Let's look ahead & always stay
Together, forever
(It's always hard)
Hard to love the one that hurts you
& forgive them for the wrong they do
(But give me a chance)
This time I swear I'll be true
No one will keep me away
From you
Don't turn around
'Cause nothing in the past will change
Don't turn around
Let's look ahead & always stay
Together, forever

● Não dê meia volta
(Black Ivory = Marfim Negro)
Não Vire-se
(Não vá embora)
Eu nunca quis te machucar
e você sempre disse que seria meu tolo
(Agora que está feito)
Acredite em mim, garota, me desculpe
e você sabe que eu vou te compensar
Então
Não dê meia-volta
Porque nada no passado vai mudar
Não dê meia-volta
Vamos olhar para frente e sempre ficar
Juntos, para sempre
(É sempre difícil)
Difícil amar quem te machuca
e perdoá-los pelo mal que eles fazem
(Mas me dê uma chance)
Desta vez eu juro que serei verdadeiro
Ninguém vai me manter longe
de você
Não dê meia-volta
Porque nada no passado vai mudar
Don't virar
Vamos olhar para frente e sempre ficar
Juntos para sempre

Black Ivory and The Delfonics were the groups no one could touch. They sang such beautiful love songs, the words were clear and their voices were so pure--nothing but solid Black Gold music to our ears. Groups don't come like this anymore or ever will again.

Much respect to Black Ivory for the wonderful performance we all witnessed here. Remember, this was live TV, no studio effects, voice enhancement, no do overs. They were and still are one of the great performing groups that proved that they can not only record beautiful love songs, but they can back it up live. MUCH LOVE BLACK IVORY

Yo!, You's know why???? Because They were "The Coldest" of Singers. Old School Talent.

And whatever reason leroy is not leading his song. Main man sings baritone. Leroy Burgess the guy in the middle sings most of their songs I know all of their hits. But not a bad job.

Lyrics & harmony tight. Music tight. Outfits tight. Afros tight. Dance steps tight. What's not to love about Black Ivory. These guys are true legends.
