Tom Tom Turnaround
Sweet · Funny Funny How Sweet Co-Co Can Be [1993]
As he stood by his father's side
Then into his world came a sweet young girl
And he took her for his bride, and he took her for his bride
Tom Tom turnaround, don't ever let me down
Don't ever leave my life
Tom Tom turnaround, don't ever let me down
You don't need a wife, no, you don't need a wife
Tom Tom's called away, but his wife says stay
Though he's never had to leave before
Sweet young wife only fears for the good life
That she may see no more and then he hears her call
Tom Tom turnaround, don't ever let me down
Don't ever leave my life
Tom Tom turnaround, don't ever let me down
You can't leave your wife, no, you can't leave your wife
Tom Tom returns but only to learn
There was truth in the words he'd ignored
Sweet young wife found a new kind of life
And a strong man's heart was torn
Will he always hear that call?
Tom Tom turnaround, don't ever let me down
Don't ever leave my life
Tom Tom turnaround, don't ever let me down
You can't leave your wife, no, you can't leave your wife
Tom Tom's alone in a world of his own
When he hears a new voice call
"Be my man, I'll do all that I can"
Is this what he's been waiting for?
Will he turn and answer her call?
Tom Tom turnaround, I'll never let you down
I'll never leave your life
Tom Tom turnaround, I'll never let you down
Take me for your wife, please take me for your wife
Tom Tom turnaround, I'll never let you down
I'll never leave your life
Tom Tom turnaround, I'll never let you down
Take me for your wife, please take me for your wife
Please take me for your wife
So Tom Tom turned around, so Tom Tom turned around
Tom Tom turned around, Tom Tom turned around
Tom Tom turned around, Tom Tom turned around
Tom Tom turned around
Tom Tom Turnaround
