Turn Around Sweet Baby [Lyrics]

I can see her face painted in your eyes,
I can hear her voice in all of your lies,
You have your history, that I know -
And running back to her is where you go.
She holds my world in her arms,
And just like me, she falls for your charm -
But the next time you turn to part,
Leave behind my battered broken heart.

[CHORUS]

Turn around sweet baby, walk out that door;
I can't deal with her baggage anymore,
When I look at you I see her pretty little face,
Smiling as she stands in your embrace.
Turn around sweet baby, I just can't look at you -
My days of loving you are finally through,
Because I can't fall for someone who is running -
Back into the arms of their ex so stunning.

[VERSE 2]

You spent the night last night, tangled in her sheets,
Ate a mint and tucked in your shirt to cover your deceit,
And creeping over the squeaking hardwood floor,
You layed down beside the one to whom you swore -
That you and her were over, a thing of the past,
So can you tell me why my hearts breaking this fast?

[CHORUS]

Turn around sweet baby, walk out that door;
I can't deal with her baggage anymore,
When I look at you I see her pretty little face,
Smiling as she stands in your embrace.
Turn around sweet baby, I just can't look at you -
My days of loving you are finally through,
Because I can't fall for someone who is running -
Back into the arms of their ex so stunning.

[VERSE 3]

There's a tissue in the bathroom, used and red -
From the lipstick stains she left, you said:
"That's from you babe, don't get me wrong,"
But I haven't worn lipstick in so long.
Your old suit was in the laundry for cleaning,
With the smell of perfume covering all meaning;
But you said: "Baby, that's yours, get some sleep,"
But I don't wear perfume that smells that cheap.
You left all the clues laying around for me to put together,
But through it all, you were still thinking of her -

[CHORUS]

Turn around sweet baby, walk out that door;
I can't deal with her baggage anymore,
When I look at you I see her pretty little face,
Smiling as she stands in your embrace.
Turn around sweet baby, I just can't look at you -
My days of loving you are finally through,
Because I can't fall for someone who is running -
Back into the arms of their ex so stunning.

...She holds my world in her arms,
And just like me, she falls for your charm -
But the next time you turn to part,
Leave behind my battered broken heart.
