Subject: Lyr Add: TURN ME ON (John D. Loudermilk)
Like a flower waiting to bloom, Like a light bulb in a darkened room, I’m just sitting here waiting for you to come on home And turn me on.
Like the desert waiting for the rain, Like a school kid waiting for the spring, I’m just sitting here waiting for you to come on home And turn me on.
My poor heart, it's been so dark since you've been gone. After all, you're the one who turns me off. You're the only one who can turn me back on.
My hi-fi is waiting for a new tune. My glass is waiting for some fresh ice cubes. I'm just sitting here waiting for you to come on home And turn me on. Turn me on.
[Recorded by Nina Simone (1966), Norah Jones (2000), and a few others.]
