Turn Turtle Lyrics by Patto

Roll ’Em Smoke ’Em Put Another Line Out

0

Don't ever let me catch you lying on your back
Or messing with your nightie on
You're always hot when I'm sleeping, you say
But you blush if I just mention a bed
And if I don't come on just how you like it
You turn, turtle, play dead

Do you remember the time you first said you'd be mine?
I went and bought a diamond ring
I've put the ring on your finger
Bright lights flashed in my head
You gave me the eye and you gave a big sigh
You turn, turtle, play dead

You never lose your grip, you're always in command
I'm telling you, I'm losing control
I'm always walking home, aching
My legs feel just like lead
Cos just as I think that I'm getting somewhere
You turn, turtle, play dead

You dress so sexy, makes me weak at the knees
You look just like a movie star
Yeah I'm always dying to be with you
Everybody turns their heads
Just the thought makes me moan but when I get you alone
You turn, turtle, play dead

You never let me inside when there's no one in your house
You tell me that it isn't right
Sometimes I think that I'm crazy
I see you stretched out there on the bed
Bathing in dreams, when I touch you, you scream
You turn, turtle, play dead

You kiss me dirty, then expect me to stop
You move away and leave me weak
You say you'll let down your family
You tell me what your mama said
But your mama's all right, she's getting hers every night
Turn, turtle, play dead

I've tried so many times to tell you how I feel
But it just don't come out right
I start out saying I love you
You kiss me and you stroke my head
My legs start to tremble, I grab you
You turn, turtle, oh play dead

Don't ever let me catch you lying on your back
I might just go insane
You've got the key to my one desire
My love can't wait to be fed
But as we slip to the floor and I beg you once more
You turn, turtle, play dead
