Point Of No Return

Gene McDaniels

Peak chart position reached was # 21 in 1962

Words and Music by Gerry Goffin and Carole King





You know that once upon a time

I didn't need you so

It would have been so easy then

For me to turn and go

But now there's no leavin' you

I know that for a fact

I'm at the point of no return

And for me there'll be no turning back



I told myself you'd always be

A habit I could break

But now a day without your kiss

Would be so hard to take

You just can't get off a train

That's movin' down the track

I'm at the point of no return

And for me there'll be no turning back



Once I could have said "goodbye" but that was at the start

Now I think I'd rather die than be the one to say "We'll part"



Maybe you will break my heart

Or maybe you'll be true

No matter what the future brings

I've got to see it through

Maybe your love for me is nothin' but an act

I'm at the point of no return

And for me there'll be no turnin' back



Yeah, for me there'll be no turnin' back

Unh, unh, unh, unh, unh, unh
