Lyrics The Proclaimers

The Proclaimers

Turning Away

My jokes don't work any more

I must have told you that one before

Cause you're turning away, turning away, turning away

You come and go as you please

I don't make you weak at the knees

When you're turning away, turning away, turning away

Some love affairs build a love

that lasts for a lifetime

Some love affairs fire a hate

that never burns out

This love affair is dead

Because you are in indifferent

You won't say it

But I am left in no doubt

You used to say what you meant

But now you ooze contempt

When you're turning away, turning away, turning away

Some love affairs build a love

that lasts for a lifetime

Some love affairs fire a hate

that never burns out

This love affair is dead

Because you are in indifferent

You won't say it

But I am left in no doubt

My jokes don't work any more

I must have told you that one before

Cause you're turning away, turning away, turning away

Turning away, turning, turning away
