About Everyway That I Can

"Everyway That I Can" is the winning song of the Eurovision Song Contest 2003 sung in English by Sertab Erener. The song was written by Demir Demirkan in early 2003 and produced and arranged by Ozan Çolakoğlu, famous for his works with pop idol Tarkan. Having previously selected Erener to represent the nation, Turkish broadcaster TRT chose her song to represent Turkey in the 2003 Eurovision Song Contest in Riga. Initially "Everyway That I Can" caused controversy with the Turkish public, considered too racy by some and too pop oriented by others. Criticism also arose by Sertab's decision to perform the song in English instead of in Turkish. The song, which combines up-tempo strings with Turkish traditional instruments, was not considered a favourite to win - in fact Russian duet t. A. T.u. were the hottest favourites since Cliff Richard's entrant in 1968, and Spain was second. Turkey performed fourth on the night in May and received an explosive reception afterwards. The song had been re-written slightly to include some high notes and a belly dancing routine was added. Erener sang counter to the rhythm in places and the backing vocals were synthesised with Turkish stringed instruments. The voting on the night saw Russia, Turkey and Belgium switch places at the top a number of times before Slovenia eventually gave Turkey the victory by just two points.

I feel you moving on a different course 
Making a way for a distant cause
You say you love me and you roll your eyes 
Turn to stare at the empty skies 

I thought it was over and we passed all that 
All we've done is to pass back to frame number one 
Come on, now, now 
I want to show you all again what it would be like 
If you just let go and let me love you 

Every way that I can 
I'll try to make you love me again 
Every way that I can 
I'll give you all my love and then 
Every way that I can 
I'll cry, I'll try 
Make you mine again 

Hold me closer, oh, so good 
You make me feel just like I should 
I know what you're thinking: uhuh good 
Now the rest of the world is overruled 

Tell me what you see in other girls all around 
Come on closer and tell me what you don't find here 
Come on, now, now 
I want to be the everything you've been missing out 
Just let go and let me love you 

Every way that I can 
I'll try to make you love me again 
Every way that I can 
I'll give you all my love and then 
Every way that I can 
I'll cry, I'll die 
Make you mine again 

I'm in love with you 
I'll do all you want me to 
You make me want to huhuh 
Make me want to huhuhuh 

I'm in love with you 
I'll do all you want me to 
You make me want to huhuh 
Make me want to huhuhuh 

Nothing in the world that could stop me, no sir 
Nothing in the world that could stop me, no sir 
Nothing in the world that could stop me, no sir 
Nothing in the world that could stop me, no sir 
No, no, no, no, no 

Every way that I can 
I'll try to make you love me again 
Every way that I can 
I'll give you all my love and then 
Every way that I can 
I'll give you all my love and then 
Every way that I can 
I'll cry, I'll try
Make you mine again
