Lyrics I Can't Turn Around - The Marvelettes

I Can't Turn Around

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
