My Joanna Needs Tuning

Uriah Heep · Other Songs - Uriah Heep

I was waiting for somebody

This afternoon

Hope that she remembered

Our rendezvouz

And when she didn't show

Just like yesterday

I do the last, I'll find another way

One night I saw the stranger

Across the hall

I knew he was the reason

Why she didn't call

I wish I had imagined

Or dreamt the lot

But the heart didn't choose

The pain I've got

Now she' turning me inside out

Upside down

And me heart is all a roundabout

Spinnin' round

She's turnin' me inside out

Inside out

She's turnin' me inside out

Inside out

Now he's got all so melt

With a diamond ring

And she was thinking through

Almost anything

She's like a shadow going up

Seventh avenue

But so what, she's only going

Where she's didn't to

I just got one thing to say

Just before I go

Since he was the offender

I want her to know

Now my mind has got me the day

I'm watching to

I'll never raise a thought

Of what she'd done
