My Turn Now

I know you can't be serious
It would be deleterious
But you're not listening
Do you see us together in twenty years anyway
'Cause I don't even know what I'll do this Saturday
So can't we think this through?

I guess it is my turn now
To turn you upside down
To make you love to hate me
To make your sky your ground
I guess it is my turn now
To turn you inside out
Won't you ever learn how
To listen to your own doubt?

I guess you must be serious
It's not you, it's not me, it's just us
That turns a good thing bad
If you asked me which you didn't
I'd have told you that it didn't feel right
You and I shared a love that lasted one night, or two, or three

It's My turn now
But I don't want to turn you down
