Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You can run, you can hide, never let it inside
Keep livin' your life in the dark
Sooner or later that gentle persuader is gonna catch up with your heart
Make you a dreamer, believer
Believin' in love
[Verse 2]
Right when a man is doin' all that he planned
And he thinks he's got just what he needs
Life will deliver a shot that will shiver him
Drivin' him down to his knees
Make him start givin', livin'
Livin' again
[Chorus]
Well, it's your mind that tricks you into leavin' every time
Love will turn you around, turn you around
Well, it's your heart that talks you into stayin' where you are
Love will turn you around, turn you around
[Verse 3]
Out of the blue, she reaches for you
And you tell her you don't have the time
So you move away fast, but you know it won't last
'Cause you can't get her off of your mind
Thoughts are burnin', turnin', they're turnin' around
[Verse 4]
How do you know when to stay or to go?
And how do you know when it's real?
You don't need a sign to make up your mind
You got your heart at the wheel
You wanna start sharin', carin', carin' again
[Chorus]
Well, it's your mind that tricks you into leavin' every time
Love will turn you around, turn you around
Well, it's your heart that talks you into stayin' where you are
Love will turn you around, turn you around
[Outro]
Love will turn you around, turn you around
Love will turn you around, turn you around
Turn you around
