Thats The Way Love Turned Out For Me by James Carr Lyrics

Genre: pop | Year: 1969

[Verse 1]
Now the people turns out for the big show
Pretty flowers turns out in the spring
And the light turns out in the kitchen, yeah
When somebody pulls on the string
But there's no light burning in my kitchen
And no door will open with my key
And I ain't got nobody, nobody to turn to, y'all
And that's the way love turned out for me
Listen to me

[Bridge]
Not so very long ago I had a love of my own
One day she's there now, and the next day she's gone

[Verse 2]
Ooh, I'd rather be a baby
And live all alone, all alone in a shack
That you let a no good, no good to you woman ruin my life
Slippin' around behind my back
'Cause this old world keeps right on turnin' without me, y'all
I want you to know that
And that's the way love turns out for me
[Outro]
Let me say it for my brothers and my sisters
This old world keeps right on turnin' without me, yeah
That's the way love, yeah, turns out for me
Now say it one more time for Memphis, Tennessee
This old world keeps on turnin' without me, yeah
That's the way love turns out for me
