I've always been the kind of man   Who doesn't believe in strings   Long term obligations are just unnecessary things   But girl, ya got me thinkin    While I'm drinkin one more beer   If I'm headed for a heartache   Then why the hell am I still here      I'm testin my resistance   And it's wearin mighty thin   I've got the feelin I should leave   Before the roof caves in   My mind tells me to move along   But my body begs me stay   And now I feel the need to hold you close   And love the night away   While you're turnin me      Chorus: Every which way but loose   You turn me   Every which way but loose   Inside the fire's burnin me   In my mind you just keep turnin me   Every which but loose   Baby there's no excuse   To turn me every which way but loose      When the sun comes up in the mornin   It should find me some place new   But right this minute all I want   Is to lay here next to you   Those memories still keep callin me   From somewhere in my past    Better hurry if they want me   'Cause I can feel me fadin fast   While you're turnin me      Repeat Chorus
