[Verse 1]
I've always been the kind of man who doesn’t believe in strings
Long term obligations are just unnecessary things
But girl, you 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?

[Verse 2]
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 to stay
Now I feel the need to hold you close and love the night away

[Chorus]
While you're turnin' me
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

[Verse 3]
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

[Chorus]
While you're turnin' me
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–
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
