(chorus)
It’s my turn
to be held in your arms
It’s my turn
to enjoy all your charms
It’s my turn
I’ve waited oh so long
to be the girl that you call yours
I’ve wanted you for it seems forever
ever since we met at school
We stayed the closest friends despite
my heart beating like a fool
But then you and she discovered each other
our friendship began to cool
I waited in the wings while you and she
went around like a matched set
I saw every touch, I saw every kiss
Every sighting made me fret
But now you’ve been left on your own
Now she’s left you for another pet
(chorus)
(middle)
Break out of your sadness
and look to me
I’ll fill you with gladness
you can trust me
You don’t have to go around the world
to find a girl to replace her
You don’t have to sit there and pout
because you’re without her
You don’t have to give up on love
I will love you much better than her
(chorus)
