I Wish You Could Have Turned My Head (And Left My Heart Alone)

 

I wish you could have turned my head and left my heart alone

Ever since I met you, baby, you have done me wrong

You walk by and you shake that thing and you know I'm not that strong

I wish you could have turned my head and left my heart alone

I wish you could have turned my head and left my heart alone

Ever since I met you, baby, you have done me wrong

You walk by and you shake that thing and you know I'm not that strong

I wish you could have turned my head and left my heart alone

The first time I laid eyes on, you got caught up in your sway

I thought I didn't have a chance and then you looked my way

From the longin' to the lovin', girl, we've made it all the way

But for all the hunger in my eyes my heart has had to pay

I wish you could have turned my head and left my heart alone

Ever since I met you, baby, you have done me wrong

You walk by and you shake that thing and you know I'm not that strong

I wish you could have turned my head and left my heart alone

I wish you could have turned my head and left my heart alone

Ever since I met you, baby, you have done me wrong

You walk by and you shake that thing and you know I'm not that strong

I wish you could have turned my head and left my heart alone

I wish you could have turned my head and left my heart alone

Ever since I met you, baby, you have done me wrong

You walk by and you shake that thing and you know I'm not that strong

I wish you could have turned my head and left my heart alone

I wish you could have turned my head and left my heart alone

Ever since I met you, baby, you have done me wrong

You walk by and you shake that thing and you know I'm not that strong

I wish you could have turned my head and left my heart alone

Well, I wish you could have turned my head and left my heart alone

Ever since I met you, baby, you have done me wrong
