Everybody's trying to say I'm wrong
I just wanna be back where I belong

World turning
I gotta get my feet back on the ground
World turning
Everybody's got me down

Maybe I'm wrong but who's to say what's right?
I need somebody to help me through the night

World turning
I gotta get my feet back on the ground
World turning
Everybody's got me down (yeah)

Maybe I'm wrong but who's to say what's right?
I need somebody to help me through the night

World turning
I gotta get my feet back on the ground
World turning
Everybody's got me down

Turning, everybody's got me down
World turning
Everybody's got me down

Maybe you're listening to a different song...

@pennywinters Fleetwood Mac wrote two different versions of this song. I believe this is the more well known of the two. The earlier version was called "The World Keep on Turning" and contained the lyrics "The world keep on turning, I got to keep my feet on the ground".

The song is simple and so is the playing. The same few chords are being repeated throughout except here and there (during the interlude in the middle), but the overall rhythm remains. I became hooked on this song after watching the band play it live. It's also distinct because Stevie Nicks' voice is not the dominant one throughout the song. To me, it's not the typical Fleetwood Mac song. I could be wrong, but I love this song just the same.

OpinionHead, I thought that every Fleetwood Mac song has Stevie Nick's all over it but it's not true!

Each song is generally written by the singer of the song. Nicks has the most recognizable biggest hits of the group but in there are only about 4 songs. Dreams, Landslide, Gypsy, Rhiannon, and Gold Dust Woman.

The other principal songwriters Lindsey Buckingham and Christine McVie each have a more varied and depth of songs they have written.

This is one of the few songs I know that Buckingham and Mcvie both sing and share the songwriting credits on.
