She's your girl ain't that right
But you're gone in the middle of the night
And that girl she hangs on
It ain't cool the way you string her along
I hear talk it's on the street
It's a dead end with the ladies you meet
It's a shame the way you start
Leavin' footprints on an innocent heart
You're gonna need somebody you can lean on
You're gonna need somebody to love
It's a cold day when you hear her say. I'm finally free
And it's a cruel world when you lose that girl
Take it from me, you oughta' take it from me
It's so good what you got
Why can't you see that she's takin' a lot
You don't call why don't you care
That she's a fool for ya' and you're keepin' her there
You're gonna need somebody to rely on
You're gonna need somebody to love
It's a cold day when you hear her say
I'm finally free
And it's a cruel world when you lose that girl
Take it from me, oh take it from me
When it's too late
And the hands of faith they are turning the key
(Oh turning turning turning)
You will love again and you'll remember when
Take it from me, take it from me
No question, i'm your best friend
Wake up or you're never gonna live it down
She needs you, wants to please you
You think that she's always gonna be around
It's a cold day when you hear her say. I'm finally free
And it's a cruel world when you lose that girl
Take it from me
When it's too late
And the hands of faith they are turning the key
(Oh turning turning turning)
You will love again and you'll remember when
Take it from me, you better take it from me
She's your girl, ain't that right
But you are gone in the middle of the night
It's so good what you've got
Why can't you see that she's taking a lot
But you're gone in the middle of the night
And that girl she hangs on
It ain't cool the way you string her along
I hear talk it's on the street
It's a dead end with the ladies you meet
It's a shame the way you start
Leavin' footprints on an innocent heart
You're gonna need somebody you can lean on
You're gonna need somebody to love
It's a cold day when you hear her say. I'm finally free
And it's a cruel world when you lose that girl
Take it from me, you oughta' take it from me
It's so good what you got
Why can't you see that she's takin' a lot
You don't call why don't you care
That she's a fool for ya' and you're keepin' her there
You're gonna need somebody to rely on
You're gonna need somebody to love
It's a cold day when you hear her say
I'm finally free
And it's a cruel world when you lose that girl
Take it from me, oh take it from me
When it's too late
And the hands of faith they are turning the key
(Oh turning turning turning)
You will love again and you'll remember when
Take it from me, take it from me
No question, i'm your best friend
Wake up or you're never gonna live it down

You think that she's always gonna be around
It's a cold day when you hear her say. I'm finally free

(Oh turning turning turning)
You will love again and you'll remember when
Take it from me, you better take it from me
She's your girl, ain't that right
But you are gone in the middle of the night
It's so good what you've got
Why can't you see that she's taking a lot
