U-turn Lyrics


Scatman John U-turn


Here it is.

Here it is.

Make a turn around,
Make a U-turn now.

(Scatting by Scatman John)

Hey you!
If anybody's home, I'm trying to get through
with a story for you.
There's a monster out there and it really
doesn't care what you say what you do
if you're young or you're grey.

Justification was my mode of operation,
looking good number one on my list.
Trapped in a circle of a merry-go-round,
I couldn't get up getting down.

The things that I was doing was all I ever known,
I didn't know that I was driven by delusion to the
bone.

You want to hear the greatest story ever told?
There ain't a greater feeling than the healing
of your soul.

Baby, I'm not here to sell you but you need someone
to tell you like it is.
Like it is.
Like it is.

I don't wanna be a preacher
But you really need a teacher, here it is.
Here it is.
Here it is.

(Scatting by Scatman John)

Hey You!
Don't beat yourself up, be gentle with yourself
'cause there ain't nobody else, and it isn't
your fault and I know it seems bleak,
and you're only in this u-turn 'til you meet defeat.

I never thought I had to go as far as I did,
I had to leave home and abandon a kid.

You want to hear the greatest story ever told?
There ain't a greater feeling than the healing
of your soul.

Baby, I'm not here to sell you but you need someone
to tell you like it is.
Like it is.
Like it is.

I don't wanna be a preacher
But you really need a teacher, here it is.
Here it is.
Here it is.

Make a turn around, make a u-turn now.

(Scatting by Scatman John)

Baby, I'm not here to sell you but you need someone
to tell you like it is.

Make a U-turn, make about face, make a turn around,
make a turn around, make a u-turn now.

I don't wanna be a preacher
But you really need a teacher, here it is.
Here it is.
Here it is.

Make a turn around, make a u-turn now.

Hey You!

(Scatting by Scatman John)

Make a U-turn, make about face, make a turn around,
make a turn around, make a u-turn now.

(Scatting by Scatman John)

Make a turn around, make a u-turn now.

(Scatting by Scatman John)

Here it is.
Here it is.
Hey You!
