Lyrics
You can run you can hide never let it insideKeep livin” your life in the darkBut sooner or later that gentle persuaderIs gonna catch up with your heartMake you a dreamer, believerBelievin” in love
Right when a man”s doin” all that he plannedAnd he thinks he”s got just what he needsLife will deliver a shock that will shiverAnd drivin” him down to his kneesMake him start givin”, livin”Livin” again
Well, it”s your mind, that tricks you in believin” every timeLove will turn you around, turn you aroundWell, it”s your heart, that talks you into to stayin” where you areLove will turn you around, turn you around
Out of the blue she reaches for youAnd you tell her you don”t have the timeSo you move away fast but you know it won”t last”Cause you can”t get her off of your mindThoughts are burnin”, turnin”They”re turnin” around
How do you know when to stay or to goAnd how do you know when it”s realYou don”t need a sign to make up your mindYou got your heart at the wheelYou want to start sharin”, carin”Carin” again
Well, it”s your mind, that tricks you in believin” every timeLove will turn you around, turn you aroundWell, it”s your heart, that talks you into to stayin” where you areLove will turn you around, turn you around
Love will turn you around, turn you aroundLove will turn you around, turn you aroundTurn you around
