Dr. Hook - Turn on the World lyrics

(Shel Silverstein) Turn on the world, give them a taste of how free your love can be Turn on the world, you don't wanna waste all your warmth on me You say you've got wings, teach them to fly Teach them to love and not question why Teach them to live and then just watch them die As you turn on the world Turn on the world, I'm just one man and that ain't enough for you Turn on the world, you know you can girl, it won't be too tough for you Reach for your star, ride the highway Pick up the souls that wait to be saved All you can give me you already gave Now go turn on the world But where my mind goes now, is no longer your concern You're hearing new voices now And I'm just a bridge to burn You've got so many choices now You don't know where to turn, turn, turn Turn on the world Turn on the world, live life to the hilt, march to your own sweet tune Turn on the world, don't stop for the guilt 'cause it might ruin your afternoon You say I should smile, stand and be strong 'Cause we had our time, and we sang our song Don't worry about me babe just run along And go turn on the world Oh show them how real your love can be Turn on the world You don't wanna waste, don't wanna waste Don't wanna waste an hour on me You say you've got wings, teach them to fly Teach them to love and not question why Teach them to live and then just watch them die As you turn on the world Go now (c)1972 Tro-Ess** Music Ltd.
