From the recording MY TURN
This song started out as a slow country ballad. After hearing a quick paced song on the radio one day, Joan decided to crank it up and uh, yeah, it's not country on this version!
Lyrics
CHORUS
My turn, my turn, when’s it gonna be my turn?
My turn, my turn, when’s it gonna be my turn?
Is there something more that I gotta learn
Before it’s my turn, my turn, my turn?
My old boyfriend told me he was misunderstood
It turned out that man is a hundred percent no good
My sister’s getting married and I think it’s not fair
I’m the oldest, shoulda been me up there
CHORUS
Everywhere I go I see couples holding hands
They don’t even speak, it seems they just understand
As I lie alone in bed, every night I say prayer
Help me find a good man to care
CHORUS
Don’t I deserve happiness?
Sometimes I start to wonder.
Is this a line I’m standin’ in?
Do I need to take a number, number?
My turn, my turn, when’s it gonna be my turn?
My turn, my turn, when’s it gonna be my turn?
Is there something more that I gotta learn
Before it’s my turn, my turn,
When’s it gonna be my turn, my turn
When’s it gonna be my turn, my turn, for love?
My turn for love, my turn for love?
