Looking back,
I know I was walking around in disguise,
In disguise,
I was just as lost and I needed a guide,
And the moment that you came to change my life,
Use life burn my heart and make me smile,
Chorus:
I'm a different person,
Yeah,
Turn my world around,
I'm a different person,
Yeah,
Turn my world around,
I'm a different person,
Yeah,
Turn my world around.
Things I had,
All fading away a minute and I,
Feel alive,
You have twisted all of my troubles inside,
You've refilled my heart and stopped me drown,
Coz' you and I know baby,
Chorus:
I'm a different person,
Yeah,
Turn my world around,
I'm a different person,
Yeah,
Turn my world around,
I'm a different person,
Yeah,
Turn my world around
(Turn my world around),
I'm a different person,

Ooooooh
Use life burn my heart and make me smile,
And you and I know baby,
Turn my world around, Oh yeah,

Turn my world around,
I'm a different person,
