Oh baby,sweet thing
I reached the turning point in my life
 I reached the turning point-lord,lord,lord
 In my life
Used to stay out all night long
Used to do a whole lotta wrong
But I'm doin' no wrong with you,baby
Since that sweet thing has come along
Said that sweet thing has come along
No more staying up late for me
   No more narrow escape
I reached the turning point in my life
 I reached the turning point-lord,lord,lord
 In my life
I met a girl
She's one out of 110,y'all
She don't get exited,no,no,no
'Bout those slick-talkin' men
She's a whiz around the house,yeah
Neat as a pin,y'all
Got hold of my socks
Got hold of my shirt
Thank you,baby
No more staying up late for me
Thinkin' about settlin' down
I reached the turning point in my life
 I reached the turning point-lord,lord,lord
 In my life
No more staying up late for me
   No more narrow escape
I reached the turning point in my life
 I reached the turning point-lord,lord,lord
 In my life
Hey,baby-you know I love you girl
Oh baby,please let me change my mind
Went downtown the other day
Heard a woman say,"Yes I did I knew all the..."
I can tell by the way the woman spoke
Her heart was truly broke
Here's what she said
If a man can't treat his woman right
Give her a little lovin' day and night
Then he sure oughta give it up
Cut it loose now
Give it up,baby
Turn it loose
Sayin' it one more time
Give it up
Turn it loose now,yeah
Give it up,baby
Please turn it loose
We goin' to church,y'all
TURN BACK THE HANDS OF TIME
Oh darling I'm so lonely without you
Can't sleep at night
Always thinkin' about you
If I had just one more try
I will be yours alone till the day I die
Leavin' you would be the last thing on my mind
If I can do it,baby
Oh baby,I susrely would
Oh darling
Please,please let me come back home
Your love's been so good to me,baby
I just realized I can't go on
'Cause you're the other half that makes my life complete
If I had one more chance we'd have a love so sweet
Leavin' you would be the last thing on my mind
LET'S STRAIGHTEN IT OUT
Sit yourself down,girl and talk to me
Tell me what's on your mind
You keep on tellin' me everything's okay
And if it was then you wouldn't be cryin'
You know you're tossin' and turnin' in your sleep lately,baby
Sittin' around poutin' all day long
How in the hell do you expect me to understand
When I don't even know what's wrong
Let's straighten it out
　Let's straighten it out
　Baby,baby,baby,let's straighten it out
　Oh,oh,oh,let's straighten it out
For the last five nights,honey,when we went to bed
I can tell something wasn't right
When you turned your back to me and you covered your head
You know you didn't even say goodnight
If you're tired and you don't wanna be bothered,baby
Just say the word and I'll leave you alone Yes I will,baby
Instead of lyin' there cryin' your eyes out,babe
When we ought to be gettin' on and on and on and on
Let's straighten it out
　Let's straighten it out
　Baby,baby,baby,let's straighten it out
　Oh,oh,oh,let's straighten it out
