Incognito Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don’t want to spend my life trying to change you
This time I’m gonna take it as it comes
There are so many things that I want to ask you
I am unafraid of what the answers may be

Oooo oooo oooo oooo oooo
Before you walk away
And start burning any bridges
Oooo oooo oooo oooo oooo
This woman’s not the one you knew
There’s been so many changes

Please don’t turn my love away
(Don’t turn my love away)
I’m gonna love you like no one’s ever done before
Oh please don’t turn your love away
(Turn my love away)
I’m gonna show you a love like you’ve never known

We travel so many roads in a lifetime
In search of a promise, (Promise of a dream come true)
And now that I’ve found you
Like a falling star falling from the midnight sky
I’ve got to let you know

(If only I knew then)
If I knew then what I know now
Babe I got no doubt that you’d be mine
(Baby got no doubt that you’d be mine)
No doubt in my mind you’d be mine

Please don’t turn my love away
(Don’t turn my love away)
I’m gonna love you like no one’s ever done before
Oh please don’t turn away my love away
(Turn my love away)
I’m gonna show you a love like you’ve never known





Don’t you turn away, run away and leave me this way
Don’t you turn away, don’t you run away

I had this played at my husband’s funeral. He was a fun person in life so his service was full of great upbeat music. & our dog just roamed around & everyone kept an eye on him. He was dad’s boy. & a good boy.

@KusogeMan

i wish you and and your family a lot of happiness for the years to come

@antoniajessiekennison6807

When I'm down I play this and it lifts me. It got me through cancer and the loss of my son. It is my inspiration. Love you guys x
