The Four Tops
Don’t Turn Away
[Intro]
(Don't turn away, ooh)
(Turn your back on me)
(Don't turn away, ooh)
(Turn your back on me)
[Verse 1]
Why, why, why must you go?
Can't you see I'm the guy who loves you so?
[Pre-Chorus]
I know he promised you the world
But you said you'll always be my girl
[Chorus]
So please, please (Don't turn away)
Don't turn your back on me (Don't turn away)
(Don't turn your back on me)
[Verse 2]
He walks so proud as you walk away
You wouldn't love me like the humble child I took in one day
[Pre-Chorus]
I trust you in the finest space
Now you want someone to take my place
[Chorus]
Please, baby (Don't turn away)
Don't turn away from me (Don't turn away)
(Don't turn your back on me)
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
I couldn't do it to you baby
[Pre-Chorus]
Don't you wait 'til it's too late
To find out your big mistake
[Chorus]
Please darlin', I'm beggin' (Don't turn away)
Don't turn away from me (Don't turn away)
(Don't turn your back on me)
[Verse 3]
Your love has been the very spark of life to me
If you leave me, it'll be the death of me
[Pre-Chorus]
After all, I'm just a man
How much can one heart stand?
[Chorus]
Please darlin' (Don't turn away)
Don't turn away from me (Don't turn away)
(Don't turn your back on me)
[Outro]
No, no, no, no
No, no, no
No, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
I've been good to you baby
Darlin', I've been lovin' you baby
For a long, long time
