Lyrics The Outfield

The Outfield

John Lennon

A soul full of anger - but nothing to show

A world wrapped in cotton - but nowhere to go

Obsessed by a woman that you didn`t know

Don`t turn around - don`t turn around

Torn between lovers - both mothers as well

A mind a prison - a heart in a cell

If only the screams could be heard from this hell

Don`t turn around - don`t turn around

You were surprised by a girl in the sky

who changed everyone

And as your life became so mystified

There was a lonely heart - left by the side

Tomorrow could never be just one more day

Confused by an image - refusing to stay

The child in your mind always wanted its way

Don`t turn around - don`t turn around

Then on a day in your life

still remembered by everyone

There was a man with a gun at his side

You and your monkey had nowhere to hide

He was the man that was sent from the rye

Don`t turn around - don`t turn around

So many things on his mind

I`m not sure if he knew

Why he blew you away

I can`t decide if it`s true

What he thought on that day

Don`t be afraid when the day turns to night

Don`t be ashamed when I turn out the lights

Call out my name and I`d hold you so tight

Don`t turn around - don`t turn around
