I love this song, though my producer side wanted to pull it from the record. The band won out and that is a good thing.
I love Vanesa's performance.
Lyrically it is the only one on this record written specifically thought the eyes of a woman. That is rare with us,, but I guess that makes it our most masculine record to date.

lyrics
Don’t turn my love (away baby)
Don’t turn my love away baby
‘cause it will never come back
no I’ll never turn back
don’t turn my love away baby
‘cause it will never come back
no I’ll never turn back
Why’d you pull that line?
why’d you say that thing?
yeah it’s a stupid lie
that I’m suffering
don’t you do me wrong
even one small slip
‘cause i’ll pull away
watch you lose your grip
Don’t turn my love away baby
‘cause it will never come back
no I’ll never turn back
don’t turn my love away baby
‘cause it will never come back
no I’ll never turn back
You know what I want
‘cause it’s never changed
too simple and pure
to ever rearrange
in your bed alone
when the night is deep
am I still the one
that steals away your sleep?
I need you, I want you
if you are real, if it’s true
Don’t you do me wrong
‘cause I’ll hock this ring
And I’ll leave you flat
sell off all your things
Don’t turn my love away baby
‘cause it will never come back
no I’ll never turn back
don’t turn my love away baby
‘cause it will never come back
no I’ll never turn back
