Kain't Turn Back

I got my mind made up

I... I... I got my mind made up

(Can't turn back)

Every time you turn around

You're givin' me hope, then you bring me down

Rub my face in the mud and then you lie behind my back

It could be a possibility, baby it just weren't meant to be

Maybe it's time 4 us to go on separately

You never understood my problems

You never asked me what I need

It's my time to let you see

Just how bad you treated me

Maybe the love we had, it just weren't meant to be

I got my mind made up, now I know that I Can't turn back, no

It's goin' be hard for me to let go, but I Can't turn back

Well, hey!

Oh Lord

Haven't I tried to treat you right?

So why do you go out every night

Chasin' the same old thing when I got just what you need?

Then you expect my loyalty, love and trust and honesty

Baby, it's time to check on your priorities

We never talked about solutions (No, no, no, no)

All we did was fuss and fight

It's my time to let you see

Just how bad you treated me

Maybe the love we had, it just weren't meant to be

I got my mind made up, now I know that I Can't turn back, no

It's goin' be hard for me to let go, but I Can't turn back

(Can't turn back)

Play on it, play on it

Well, give me that blues y'all, come on

(Can't turn back)

(You got to try anyway)

I need you to tell me

I got my mind made up, now I know I Can't turn back, no

(That I Can't turn back)

It's gonna be hard, gonna be hard 4 me to let go

But I, but I Can't, I... no, no no

(It's gonna be hard 4 me to let go, but I Can't turn back)

(No, I Can't turn back)

I Can't, I Can't, just Can't, no I Can't turn back

(Everybody Can't do that, yeah) [fade out]

you see I, I love you, but I Can't do it

I Can't turn back (I Can't turn back)

I've come to far (Come to far)

Come to far to turn back
