Every Which Way but Loose lyrics

I've always been the kind of man

Who doesn't believe in strings

Long-term obligations

Are just unnecessary things

But girl, you got me thinking

While I'm drinking one more beer

If I'm headed for a heartache

Then why the hell am I still here?

I'm testing my resistance

And it's wearing mighty thin

I've got the feeling, I should leave

Before the roof caves in

My mind tells me to move along

But my body begs me "stay"

And now I feel the need to hold you close

And love the night away

While you're turning me ...

Every which way but loose

You turn me

Every which way but loose

Inside the fire's burning me

In my mind you just keep turning me

Every which way but loose

Baby, there's no excuse

To turn me every which way but loose

When the sun comes up in the morning

It should find me some place new

But right this minute, all I want

Is to lay here next to you

Those memories still keep calling me

From somewhere in my past

Better hurry, if they want me

'Cause I can feel me fading fast

While you're turning me ...

Every which way but loose

You turn me

Every which way but loose

Inside the fire's burning me

In my mind you just keep turning me

Every which way but loose

Baby, there's no excuse

To turn me every which way but loose
