Turn Back the Hands of Time

[Verse 1: David Ruffin]
Oh, darling
I'm so lonely without you
Can't sleep at night
Always thinking about you

[Pre-Chorus: David Ruffin]
Oh baby, but if I had the
Chance to start all over
I would be wishing today
On a four leaf clover

[Chorus: David Ruffin]
And leaving would be
The last thing on my mind
If I could turn back
The hands of time

(If I could turn back
The hands of time) Oh, baby
(If I could turn back
The hands of time)

[Verse 2: Jimmy Ruffin]
Oh, darling
I can't hold out much longer
'Cause the pain is getting deep
Oh, the hurt keeps getting stronger

[Pre-Chorus: Jimmy Ruffin]
But if I had just one more try
I would be yours alone
Until the day I die

[Chorus: Jimmy Ruffin]
And we would
Have a love so divine
If only I could turn back
The hands of time

(If I could turn back
The hands of time) Oh, baby
(If I could turn back
The hands of time)

[Bridge: David Ruffin and Jimmy Ruffin]
Mmm
Remember, girl
That I lovе you
Oh, I love you

[Verse 3: Jimmy Ruffin]
Oh, darling, please
Plеase, please let me come back home
Oh, 'cause your love has been
So good to me, baby
And I just realized
Without it, I can't go on

[Pre-Chorus: David Ruffin]
Oh, let me tell you
'Cause you're the other half
That makes my life complete
If I had just one more chance
We'd have a love so sweet

[Chorus: David Ruffin and Jimmy Ruffin]
And leaving would be
The last thing on my mind
Oh, if I could turn back
The hands of time

(If I could turn back
The hands of time) Oh, baby
(If I could turn back
The hands of time) Oh, listen girl, I love you

(If I could turn back
The hands of time)
Girl, girl, girl, I need you yeah
I need you bad, if I could turn back the hands of time
(If I could turn back
The hands of time)

I'd turn it on back, baby
(If I could turn back
The hands of time) Oh oh
Start on over
(If I could turn back
The hands of time)
