Mavis Staples Kain't Turn Back Lyrics

(Kain't turn back) {"Kain't" repeats thru in BG}
I got my mind made up
I... I... I got my mind made up
(Kain't turn back)

Every time U turn around
U're givin' me hope, then U bring me down
Rub my face in the mud and then U lie behind my back
It could be a possibility, baby it just weren't meant 2
be
Maybe it's time 4 us 2 go on separately

U never understood my problems
U never asked me what I need

CHORUS:
It's my time 2 let U see
Just how bad U treated me
Maybe the love we had, it just weren't meant 2 be
I got my mind made up, now I know that I kain't turn
back, no
It's gonna be hard 4 me 2 let go, but I kain't turn
back

Well, hey!
Oh Lord

Haven't I tried 2 treat U right?
So why do U go out every night
Chasin' the same old thing when I got just what U need?
Then U expect my loyalty, love and trust and honesty Baby, it's time 2 check on your priorities

We never talked about solutions (No, no, no, no)
All we did was fuss and fight

CHORUS

(Kain't turn back)
Play on it, play on it
Well, give me that blues y'all, come on
(Kain't turn back)
[U got 2 try anyway]
I need U 2 tell me

I got my mind made up, now I know I kain't turn back,
no
(That I kain't turn back)
It's gonna be hard, gonna be hard 4 me 2 let go
But I, but I kain't, I... no, no no
(It's gonna be hard 4 me 2 let go, but I kain't turn
back)

(No, I kain't turn back)
I kain't, I kain't, just kain't, no I kain't turn back

(Everybody kain't do that, yeah) {fade out}
U see I, I love U, but I kain't do it
I kain't turn back (I kain't turn back)
I've come 2 far (Come 2 far)
Come 2 far 2 turn back
