About I Can't Turn Around

"I Can't Turn Around" is a song written and originally performed by soul singer Isaac Hayes as the lead single from his 1975 album Chocolate Chip. In 1986, a house music cover of the song by J. M. Silk reached number one on the U. S. Billboard Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart with lead vocals performed by Keith Nunnally. The single was the only US dance number one for J. M. Silk. It did also enter the UK singles chart in October 1986, peaking at number sixty-two,, but was strongly outsold there by Farley "Jackmaster" Funk's reworked version of the song, entitled "Love Can't Turn Around". Farley's version copied elements of Hurley's arrangement with new lyrics by Vince Lawrence and vocals performed by Darryl Pandy, peaking at number ten in UK Top 75 and number fifteen on the US Dance chart. more »

Come first, come, love is calling and once again I'm falling
And I can't turn around, no
My happiness is showing and my love chances growing
And I can't turn around, no

No more empty days and lonely nights
Girl, you've changed my, my whole life
Now my heartaches all are gone, now I'm not alone
Cause you gave me love, sweet love

My head is spinning from this brand new beginning
And I can't turn around, no no
Everything is sunny like the sweet taste of honey
And I can't turn around, no

Girl, you gave me what I needed so bad
Now that I got it, I'm so glad
Now my life is rearranged, now my luck is changed
Cause you gave me love, sweet love

You know, I almost forgot how it feels to love someone
But girl you came to me and you made me see
That happiness belongs to everyone

It's like going down the ski slope or stranded on a tightrope
I can't turn around, no
I said, your kiss is so inviting and your arm's so exciting
And I can't turn around, no

Oh, my love is strong as a mountain is tall
Girl, you got it, take it all
Now my life is rearranged, now my luck is changed
Cause you gave me love, sweet love

Come first, come, love is calling once again I'm falling
And I can't, I won't, I will not turn around
I said, my happiness is showing and my love chances growing
And I can't, I won't turn around, no

Oh, no more empty days and lonely nights
Cause you've changed my, my whole life

I said, yeah, you gave me what I needed so bad
Now that I've got it, I'm so glad, I say, I won't, I won't turn around
I say, it's like going down the ski slope, stranded on a tightrope
No, I won't turn around, I won't turn around
I say, I can't, I won't turn around

Cause of my feet on solid ground
I won't, won't turn around
You made me know how it feels to belong to someone
That's why I will not turn around

No I won't, I can't turn around
I won't, I can't turn around
I won't turn around
I say, I won't, I won't turn around
No, I won't, I won't turn around

I've got my life rearranged, my luck has changed
And said I can't, I won't turn around
No, I won't, I said I won't, I won't turn around
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, I won't turn around
No, no, no, I won't turn around
No, no, no, I won't
