They say that love is wonderful

They say that love is marvelous

Then tell me why did you turn away, boy



1 - Turn away from my love

Turn away, boy

Turn away from my love

Turn away, boy



Twelve o'clock in the noon day

And I'm just getting out of bed

The thoughts of losing you 

Are still hanging round my head

I don't know why 

I don't know why you left me all alone, boy

Tin bird he flies

Private jets, first class to Texas

What's going on?



Repeat 1



Baby, don't you know that I've been missing you

So bring your lovin' home

Cuz you've been gone too long

I don't know why

I don't know why you left me all alone

Tin bird he flies

Such an empty space inside of me



Repeat 1



Turn away from my love

My love my love

Turn away from my love

My love my love



Since you turned away

Oh, life ain't been worth living

Since you turned away

My love ain't been worth giving

Since you turned away

You see this house is not a home

Since you turned away

Baby I just can't go on since you



Repeat 1 until fade
