Lyrics

Turntable

[Verse 1: T-Boz]

I used to walk around like

Nothing could happen to me

Life is a gamble so I

Should live life more carefully

But all I know is that I

Control my own destiny

I used to look at others

Instead of me blaming me

[Pre-Chorus: Chilli]

Don't ask yourself why

Just look to the sky

Believe that soon you'll see the other side 'cause

[Chorus]

I know

That through all the struggle

There's a bright road

At the end of the tunnel

Now you should know

Whatever your dilemma may be

You'll learn

Life is worth it

Watch the tables turn (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

[Verse 2: T-Boz]

Whenever you feel troubled

With problems coming your way

Don't ever get discouraged

There's always... a better day

We all don't know the answers

Believe and trust when I say

That havin' faith is always

The way to make things okay

[Pre-Chorus: Chilli]

Don't ask yourself why

Just look to the sky

Believe that soon you'll see the other side

[Chorus]

I know

That through all the struggle

There's a bright road

At the end of the tunnel

Now you should know

Whatever your dilemma may be

You'll learn (You will learn)

Life is worth it

Watch the tables turn (That's right, alright)

[Bridge: T-Boz, Chilli]

You've had your ups and downs but (Ups and downs)

It happened for a reason

'Cause after April showers

There will come a change of season

So please don't give up now 'cause (Give up now)

The sun's shinin' through the clouds

It's gonna be alright

'Cause I know

[Chorus]

I know (I know)

That through all the struggle (All your struggle)

There's a bright road (There's a brighter road)

At the end of the tunnel

Now you should know

Whatever your dilemma may be

You'll learn

Life is worth it

Watch the tables turn

[Chorus]

I know (I know)

That through all the struggle (Through all your struggle hah)

There's a bright road (Through all your pain)

At the end of the tunnel (At the end of the tunnel)

Now you should know

Whatever your dilemma may be

You'll learn (You will live and learn, oh, oh)

Life is worth it

Watch the tables turn (Ahh)

[Outro]

Watch the tables turn (Ahh)

Watch the tables turn (Ahh)

Watch the tables turn (Ahh)

Watch the tables turn (Ahh)

Watch the tables turn (Ahh)

Watch the tables turn (Ahh)

Watch the tables turn (Ahh)

Watch the tables turn
