Bill Withers - Something That Turns You On Lyrics






I hope you find in me
Something that turns you on
A tie that binds with me
And holds us together from now on

Oh! I want to be what you need. Ow baby yeah!
When it gets down to love
I want to be what you want me to be
When it gets down to love

Really want to be what you need
Wanna be the one that turns you on
Really want to be what you need
Wanna be the one that turns you on

I hope you find in me
Something that's peaceful and warm
Something that keeps us together
‘Til one of us is dead and gone

Oh! I want to be what you need
Ow baby yeah!
When it gets down to love
I want to be what you want me to be
When it gets down to love

Really want to be what you need
Wanna be the one that turns you on
Really want to be what you need
Wanna be the one that turns you on

I hope you find in me
Something that burns on and on
Something that keeps us together
Keeps our love still holding on

I want to be what you need
When it gets down to love
I want to be what you want me to be
When it gets down to love

Really want to be what you need
Wanna be the one that turns you on
Really want to be what you need
Wanna be the one that turns you on

  45. C.... A....

    Yoooo. This is amazing

  46. C.... L....

    Dear 80's electronic drums and producers that thought it was cool. 'You still suck" too bad great artists had to carry you on their talented backs.

  67. R.... L....

    I was a teenager growing up in South L.A. when I heard this on urban radio. Amazingly, after nearly 30 years - it STILL sounds fresh! I would like to invite you all to join us at the Facebook fan group: Fans Of TV ONES UNSUNG.

  76. C.... ....

    @Cch092775 Yes true. I read in an interview once that Bill retired due to the changes in the industry and the music itself. This is one his best projects after "Just The Two of Us.

  77. C.... C....

    Ninja, of course he's still alive but he is not recording. This song was the last song.
    I miss his music.

  78. d.... ....

  82. m.... ....

    All these years I never knew who the male vocalist was singing wth BIll Withers on the track, thanks for pointing that out.

  83. c.... ....

    Smooth jam

  84. E.... E....

    Phil Perry on backup vocals...

  85. s.... ....

    he's got to be a musical genius. he wrote and sang, lean on me which has turned into sort of an anthem. very talented musician

  86. N.... L....

    Awesome track - brings back wonderful memories

  87. U.... ....

    Very obscure. I have not heard this record since it was on the radio back in 1985. Too bad there was not video to justify this. I still love this smooth ballad to this day!

  88. l.... ....

    still sounds good after all these years. we need to get back to the smooth sound.

  89. g.... ....

    All time fav. Luv it

    Me too. This album is great!

  92. C.... C....

    I really miss Bill Withers. The arrangement is simply wonderful.
