Love Will Turn You Around by Kenny Rogers


You can run, you can hide, never let it inside

keep livin your life in the dark

Sooner or later, that gentle persuader

is gonna catch up with your heart

Make you a dreamer, beliver, believin in love

Right when a man's, doin all that he planned

and he thinks he's got just what he needs

Life will deliver, a shot that will shiver him

drivin him down to his knees

Make him start giving, living, livin again

Well it's your mind, that tricks you in believin everytime

Love will turn you around, turn you around

Well it's your heart, that talks you into stayin where you are

Love will turn you around, turn you around

Out of the blue, she reaches for you,

and you tell her you don't have the time

So you move away fast, but you know it won't last

cause you can't get her off of your mind

Toughts are burnin, turnin, they're turnin around

How do you know, when to stay or to go

and how do you know when it's real

You don't need a sign, to make up your mind

you got your heart at the wheel

You wanna start sharin, carin, carin again

Well it's your mind, that tricks you in believin everytime

Love will turn you around, turn you around

Well it's your heart, that talks you into stayin where you are

Love will turn you around, turn you around

Love will turn you around, turn you around

Love will turn you around, turn you around

Turn you around
