Turned away, turned away Turned away, turned away From love Too many times I feel We are losing time once shared And only when you're in ecstasy You seem to really care Didn't you say not to worry I can only speak for myself How do you think that I'm happy, baby With a love like mine Locked up on a shelf Remember my love had a place It was a part of the game And just when I went all the way I'm in too deep Girl, you made the choice And sent away (Turned away) When you should've been giving (Turned away) oh As I started believing (Turned away) Just as I was living (Turned away from love) I discovered you were untrue So unfortunate for you There is nothing that I wouldn't do I only gave you the best I ever had to you Don't let sympathy show her face Girl, let's not pretend I'm no longer in this race You've got your space Still it hurts me that you (Turned away) When you should've been giving (Turned away) oh As I started believing (Turned away) Just as I was living (Turned away from love) Don't turn away from my love (Turned away from my love) (Turned away from my love) (Turned away) When you should've been giving (Turned away) oh As I started believing (Turned away) Just as I was living (Turned away from love) Turned away from love (Turned away) When you should've been giving (Turned away) oh As I started believing (Turned away) Just as I was living (Turned away from love) Don't turn away from my love (Turned away from my love) (Turned away from my love) (Turned away) When you should've been giving (Turned away) oh As I started believing (Turned away) Just as I was living (Turned away from love) Turned away, turned away Turned away, turned away
