Turn It Into Love
Hazell Dean Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Did you believe I'd let you down
Your jealous heart?
Gave you the runaround you couldn't see
That I would always be your friend

If you can look inside your heart
And understand what's tearing you apart
You gotta trust someone
Don't let hate get in the way

Just turn it into love, turn it into love
And open up your heart and you'll
Never feel ashamed if you
Turn it, turn it, turn it into love

When all your other friends are gone
I'll still be here to help you carry on
If you have faith in me
Then I'll believe in you

You are the first thing on my mind
Do you believe I wouldn't have the time?
I have to make you see
You can't put the pain on me

Just turn it into love, turn it into love
And open up your heart and you'll
Never feel ashamed if you
Turn it, turn it, turn it into love

Just turn it into love
Just turn it into love
Just turn it into love

If you can look inside your heart
And understand what's tearing you apart
You gotta trust someone
Don't let hate get in the way

Just turn it into love, turn it into love
And open up your heart and you'll




Never feel ashamed if you
Turn it, turn it, turn it into love

Great piece of late 80s disco-pop. SAW at the height of their powers. Unlike most, I much prefer this to Kylie's version.
