Turn It On Lyrics
It ain't easy being this kind of lover
When you never call
It ain't easy being this kind of lover
Won't you ever call me?
But I'm dedicated, yes, I'm a forgiver
I'm dedicated
Sure, I'm a giver
I'm dedicated, yes, I'm a forgiver
I'll forgive you always
Although I know you turn it on, yeah (turn it on)
Although I know you turn it on, yeah (turn it on)
Although I know you turn it on, yeah (turn it on)
Although I know you turn it on, yeah
Turn it on
You don't wanna know how I manage alone
Oh no, you don't wanna know what goes on when I'm on my own
You don't wanna know how I plan on my own
Oh no, you don't wanna know how I know when you're on your own
I'll never be alone, yeah (turn it on)
You know I'd follow you to Rome, yeah (turn it on)
I know the places you call home, yeah (turn it on)
You know I'll get you on your own, yeah (turn it on)
Oh, you know I know where you are
You know I know where you are
You know
I can't have another
Can't stop thinking of you
If I can't have you then nobody can
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
You turn it on, you turn it on
You turn it on, you turn it on
You turn it on, you turn it on
Whoo, you turn it on!
When you never call
It ain't easy being this kind of lover
Won't you ever call me?
But I'm dedicated, yes, I'm a forgiver
I'm dedicated
Sure, I'm a giver
I'm dedicated, yes, I'm a forgiver
I'll forgive you always
Although I know you turn it on, yeah (turn it on)
Although I know you turn it on, yeah (turn it on)
Although I know you turn it on, yeah
Turn it on
Oh no, you don't wanna know what goes on when I'm on my own
You don't wanna know how I plan on my own
Oh no, you don't wanna know how I know when you're on your own
You know I'd follow you to Rome, yeah (turn it on)
I know the places you call home, yeah (turn it on)
You know I'll get you on your own, yeah (turn it on)
You know I know where you are
You know
I can't have another
Can't stop thinking of you
If I can't have you then nobody can
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
You turn it on, you turn it on
You turn it on, you turn it on
Whoo, you turn it on!

Yep this was near enough what I got too! (I'm mean_old_scene of LJ lol)
I think I remember something being said about one of the guys getting a letter from a fan saying they thought Franz were sending them messages through their songs... or I could have just made that up :/ But I do get a vibe of a very stalkerish/obsessed fan. Awesome song.
wait no I'm not! I'm notwonderwoman from LJ XD
It sounds like the narrator is some kind of possessive ('if I can't have you then nobody can') stalker/ex-lover.
I really like this song - can't wait for the third album :D
the song sounds great
I think its a little crush gone wrong horribly wrong esp at the part "if i cant have you then nobody can" I left a comment on myspace talking about it and I think I got something right because they put it on the page =D
this song is so addictive!! my favorite off the new album.
Hey forgivers, this is for you :D
Is it just me or does the noise over the chorus sound like the lens of a camera whirring? So "turn it on" and take a picture? that was my first thought.
According to Song Facts, "Kapranos described this to the New Musical Express January 17,2009 as a 'psycho-stalker anthem.'"
They've changed the lyrics a bit for the album version. He only sings the first verse once now.
1st verse: "I'm dedicated, yes, I'm a forgiver I'm dedicated, yeah, some kind of giver"
Chorus: "I want to know you turn it on, yeah (turn it on) I want to know you turn it on, yeah, turn it on!"
Otherwise this is fairly spot on.
