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)
