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
