  • You've got the love
    You've got the power
    But you just don't understand
    Girl, you've been charging by the hour
    For your love

    I'm tryin' to show how much I love you
    Still believe in romance
    You're taking way too many chances
    With my love

    I remember when you used to be
    The talk of the town
    All you get is lonely

    Turn your love around
    Don't you turn me down
    I can show you how
    Turn your love around

    Without the woman I can make it
    But I need the girl to stay
    Oh, don't you let the lady take it all away
    When the woman needs a taste of yesterday
    But you stay at home
    All they get is lonely

    Turn your love around
    Don't you turn me down
    I can show you how
    Turn your love around

    Oh, girl you know me
    I'm alone until you show me
    That you're still in love with me
    We're gonna make it
    We're gonna take it
    Back where we belong

    Turn your love around
    Don't you turn me down
    I can show you how
    Turn your love around

    Turn your love around (This time the girl became a woman)
    Don't you turn me down (Every woman needs a man)
    I can show you how (I love the girl, I love the woman)
    Turn your love around

    Turn your love around (This time the girl became a woman)
    Don't you turn me down (Every woman needs a man)
    I can show you how (I love the girl, I love the woman)
    Turn your love around

    Turn your love around (This time the girl became a woman)
    Don't you turn me down (Every woman needs a man)
    I can show you how (I love the girl, I love the woman) Writer/s: BILL CHAMPLIN, JAY GRAYDON, STEVEN LEE LUKATHER
