I've always been the kind of man

Who doesn't believe in strings

Long term obligations are just unnecessary things

But girl, ya got me thinkin

While I'm drinkin one more beer

If I'm headed for a heartache

Then why the hell am I still here



I'm testin my resistance

And it's wearin mighty thin

I've got the feelin I should leave

Before the roof caves in

My mind tells me to move along

But my body begs me stay

And now I feel the need to hold you close

And love the night away

While you're turnin me



Chorus: Every which way but loose

You turn me

Every which way but loose

Inside the fire's burnin me

In my mind you just keep turnin me

Every which but loose

Baby there's no excuse

To turn me every which way but loose



When the sun comes up in the mornin

It should find me some place new

But right this minute all I want

Is to lay here next to you

Those memories still keep callin me

From somewhere in my past

Better hurry if they want me

'Cause I can feel me fadin fast

While you're turnin me



Repeat Chorus
