Lyrics Phyllis Hyman – Why Did You Turn Me On
Text:
You turn away
You don’t know what to say
And I close my eyes
To pretend I surprised
Now too many thoughts just crowded in to bed
And the hungry night is begging to be fed
Heart on the line
The stand up to test the time
I guess what is most secure is bound to lose
If love’s just a victim of a poor excuse
And the hungry night is begging to be fed
Heart on the line
The stand up to test the time
I guess what is most secure is bound to lose
If love’s just a victim of a poor excuse
Why, why did you turn me on
If you knew that one day you’ll be gone
Oh, why did you shine the light
In the night (ooh, ooh, ooh…)
Tell me why
Where is the door
Love opened to scream for more
Here I understand the nature of the game
But the rules that hurt me most that’s never changed
Why, why did you turn me on
If you knew that one day you’ll be gone
Oh, why did you shine the light
In the night
Why did you turn me on?
Why, why did you turn me on
If you knew that one day you’ll be gone
Oh, why did you shine the light
In the night…
