I Can't Turn Around - The Marvelettes

I can’t turn around

I’ve got to stay here 'til the end

If nothing else, just let me be a friend

Baby, I know it’s sad to say

But I’ve got it bad

You’re the only love I’ve ever had

We’ll be the feeling you lost, we’ll be fine

'Cause I can’t turn around

I can’t turn around

I’ve loved you much too long

Baby, I’ve got to

Hold on, hold on, hold on

It’s bad for me to chase a dream

But I’ve got to stay with you, I can’t leave

Baby, I’m on a ship that’s going down

But I can’t turn around

I can’t turn around

There’s only one way for me to go

I can’t turn around

Simply because I need you so

(I can’t turn around)

Although it’s bad for me to chase a dream

I’ve got to stay with you, I can’t leave

Baby, I’m on a ship that’s going down

But I can’t turn around

You’re my everything

How can I say «So long» as though the feel is gone

Oh, the joy we share no longer feel

But sweet memories still linger there

My hope is almost to the ground

But baby, I just can’t turn around

I can’t turn around

There’s only one way for me to go, oh yeah

I can’t turn around

Simply because I need you so

I can’t
