Lyrics

(Scatting by Scatman John)

Here it is

Make a U-turn, baby

Make a turn around

Make a U-turn now

Here it is

Make a turn around

Make a U-turn now

U-turn now

U-turn now

U-turn now

U-turn now

Here it is

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 gray

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 from getting down

G-g-get up from getting down

G-g-get up from getting down

G-g-get up from getting down

G-g-get up from getting down

The things that I was doing was all I'd ever known

I didn't know that I was driven by delusion to the bone

You wanna 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

I don't wanna be a preacher

But you really need a teacher, here it is

Make a U-turn, baby

(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 the street 'til you admit defeat

I never thought I had to go as far as I did

I had to lose a home and abandon a kid

You wanna 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

I don't wanna be a preacher

But you really need a teacher, here it is

Make a U-turn, baby

(Scatting by Scatman John)

Here it is

Here it is

Baby, I'm not here to sell you

But you need someone to tell you like it is

I don't wanna be a preacher

But you really need a teacher, here it is

Make a turn around

Make a U-turn now

Make a turn around

Make a U-turn now

(Scatting by Scatman John)

Make a U-turn, baby

(Scatting by Scatman John)

Here it is

Here it is

Baby, make a U-turn
