Lyrics

[Verse 1]
To turn my back on you
Now would I turn my back on me?
To turn my back on you
Now would I turn my back on me?
[Verse 2]
No, don't say, I'm not gonna turn my back on you
You know I'll never let you down, no way
I'll never let you down
I'll never let you down, no way
[Verse 3]
Try and tell you that it's alright
Ooh, I'm not playin'
Can't you see what I'm sayin'?
You are my religion
[Verse 4]
To turn my back on you
Now would I turn my back on me?
To turn my back on you
Now would I turn my back on me?
[Verse 5]
No, don't say, I'm not gonna turn my back on you
You know I'll never let you down, no way
I'll never let you down
I'll never let you down, no way
[Verse 6]
Try and tell you that it's alright
Ooh, I'm not playin'
Can't you see what I'm sayin'?
You are my religion
[Verse 7]
To turn my back on you
Now would I turn my back on me?
