I Wish You Could Have Turned My Head (And Left My
The Oak Ridge Boys · 20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection [2000]
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,
But 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,
But 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;
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,
But 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,
But 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,
But 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,
But 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...
