I’ve been chained like a fool,
Just listen to me.
‘Cause I got a story to tell
That will help you to see.
Well I gave her all the lovin’ I had,
She returned it to me,
She walked out with a laugh.

Now I’m turnin’ to you
Now I’m turnin’ . . to you
Now I’m turnin’ to you
Now I’m turnin’ . . to you.

Well I never knew that lovin’
Could be so fine.
Now that I know what it’s like
On the other side.
Well she gave me a look with her eyes,
And I knew by that look I was in for a ride.

Now I’m turnin’ to you
Now I’m turnin’ . . to you
Now I’m turnin’ to you
Now I’m turnin’ . . to you.

Now I’m turnin’ to you, you
Now I’m turnin’ to you, you, you
Now I’m turnin’ to you, you, you, you, Wooh
Now I’m turnin’ to you, you, you.

I’ve been chained like a fool,
Just listen to me.
‘Cause I got a story to tell
That will help you to see.
Well I gave her all the lovin’ I had.
She returned it to me.
She walked out with a laugh.

Now I’m turnin’ to you.
Now I’m turnin’ . . to you
Now I’m turnin’ to you
Now I’m turnin’ . . to you

Now I’m turnin’ to you
Now I’m turnin’ . . to you
I can’t wait to see love.
Now I’m turnin’, turnin’, turnin’,
Turnin’, turnin’ to you.
