Phyllis Hyman - Why Did You Turn Me On Lyrics

You turn awayYou don't know what to sayAnd I close my eyesTo pretend I surprisedNow too many thoughts just crowded in to bedAnd the hungry night is begging to be fedHeart on the lineThe stand up to test the timeI guess what is most secure is bound to loseIf love's just a victim of a poor excuseWhy, why did you turn me onIf you knew that one day you'll be goneOhh, why did you shine the lightIn the night [Ooh, ooh, ooh, oooh, ooh, ooh]Tell me whyWhere is the doorLove opened to scream for moreHere I understand the nature of the gameBut the rules that hurt me most that's never changed[Chorus]Why did you turn me on?[Saxophone solo][Chorus w/ ad-libs til fade]
