Lyrics of It's My Turn by Diana Ross
verse
I can′t cover up my feelings
In the name of love
Or play it safe
For a while that was easy
And if living for myself
Is what I'm guilty of
Go on and sentence me
I′ll still be free
It's my turn
To see what I can see
I hope you'll understand
This time′s just for me
Because it′s my turn
With no apologies
I've given up the truth
To those I′ve tried to please
But now it's my turn
If I don′t have all the answers
At least I know I'll take my share of chances
Ain′t no use of holding on
When nothing stays the same
So I'll let it rain
'Cause the rain ain′t gonna hurt me
And I′ll let you go
'Though I know it won′t be easy
It's my turn
With no more room for lies
For years I′d seen my life
Through someone else's eyes
And now it′s my turn
To try and find my way
And if I should get lost
At least I'll own today
It's my turn
Yes, it′s my turn
And there ain′t no use in holding on
When nothing stays the same
So I'll let it rain
′Cause the rain ain't gonna hurt me
And I′ll let you go
'Though I know it won′t be easy
It's my turn
To see what I can see
I hope you'll understand
This time′s just for me
Because it′s my turn
To turn and say goodbye
I sure would like to know
That you're still on my side
Because it′s my turn
It's my turn
It′s my turn
To start from number one
Trying to undo
Some damage that's been done
But now it′s my turn
To reach and touch the sky
No one's gonna say
At least I didn't try
outro
It′s my turn
Yes, it′s my turn
It's my turn
It′s my turn
It's my turn
Writer(s): Carole Bayer Sager, Michael Masser
