Turn My Head Towards Home - Al Kooper

I have never ever been the one

To feel the need to wanna settle down

I’ve accommodated other girls

That I never stayed long around

Til ya came into my life with your flashin' eyes

And your magic ways

Made me wanna stop and take a wife

And think about the future ‘stead of day to day

You — you made me turn my head towards home

Every night was with another girl

I’d make my way home with the sun

After while they all looked the same

Any one coulda been anyone

I was losin' my taste for joy

Til ya came and made me see the light

Ya took the misery and made a happy boy

And with your kiss ya changed the wrong to right

You — you made me turn my head towards home

You turned me right around

Baby now ya got me settled down

It wasn’t hard for you to change my ways

Don’t have to worry bout me messin' around

I’ll be here for the rest of my days

Ya built your love with honesty

There ain’t no better way to keep your man

No matter where I go you’re part of me

Cause you’re the one who made me understand

You — you made me turn my head towards home

You picked me up when I was down

You brought the smiles & you took away the frowns

You made me stand up

You made me turn my head towards home

And there ain’t no girl who can catch my eye

Cause I would never ever make you cry

And if anybody asks me why I say

You made me turn my head towards home

And when it comes to good lovin'

Well you’re the very best

I believe that you’re head & shoulders above all the rest

And you don’t need to pass no test

You made me turn my head towards home
