You Turn Me On
W. Smith & L. Hall Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh baby, you're beautiful
Oh baby, you move so nasty
And it's the madness and all the sadness
That makes it more beautiful

Oh darling, you're everything
I ever wanted in any lover
I know your questions don't have the answers
Now I'm afraid that it is really over

Don't give up on us darling
Don't Turn Your Back On Me
I won't give up on you baby
So Don't Turn Your Back On Me

I know it's true I'll never find
Someone that fits me like we fit together
There's just no way my heart will play
'Cause I don't want to be with any other

Oh babe, you're beautiful
Feels so good to have you near me
You've got my heart, if you take it all away
That's the only thing I really fear

Don't give up on us darling
Don't Turn Your Back On Me
Don't turn off on me
Don't Turn Your Back On Me
I won't give up on you baby
So Don't Turn Your Back On Me

Don' walk away from me baby
Don't turn your back on me

Am I running through your head?
Remembering what I said




Lay awake in your dreamless bed
While my music goes around and around
