I used to think, darling, you never did nothing
But you were always up to something
Always had a run in, yeah
I got to think those days are coming to get ya
Now no body want to protect ya
They only want to forget ya
You'll be on my mind
Don't give yourself away
To the weight of love
You'll be on your side
Don't give yourself away
The weight of, weight of love
Dance all night cause people they don't wanna be lonely
Never wanna be lonely
They don't wanna be lonely
You have a thing no one could ever be sure of
Never ever had a pure love
And never no cure from
You'll be on my mind
Don't give yourself away
To the weight of love
You'll be on your side
Don't give yourself away
The weight of, weight of love

In Time
Where do we go?
And all the people, they sure don't want you to know
They don't want you to know, oh
Livin' in chains, the heart's rearranged
You gotta lure it back, all of the time
Now tell me I'm right, oh
[Pre-Chorus:]
And I got a thing I really can't say
[Chorus:]
You've got a worried mind
I've got a worried heart
You don't know what to do
I don't know where to start
You let this beat us down
Well get up off the ground
One day, I know
We've got to go, oh
Where is your mind?
The street is beating you bad
It's taken it's time, it's taken it's time, oh
Oh, where to run?
I told you to get, but you were having your fun
Now you're under the gun, oh
[Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus]
And all the people, they sure don't want you to know
They don't want you to know, oh
Livin' in chains, the heart's rearranged
You gotta lure it back, all of the time
Now tell me I'm right, oh
[Pre-Chorus:]
And I got a thing I really can't say
[Chorus:]
You've got a worried mind
I've got a worried heart
You don't know what to do
I don't know where to start
You let this beat us down
Well get up off the ground
One day, I know
We've got to go, oh
Where is your mind?
The street is beating you bad
It's taken it's time, it's taken it's time, oh
Oh, where to run?
I told you to get, but you were having your fun
Now you're under the gun, oh
[Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus]

Turn Blue
In the dead of the night I start to lose control
But I still carry the weight like I've always done before
It gets so heavy at times but what more can I do
I got to stay on track just like pops told me to
I really don't think you know
There could be hell below, below
I really do hope you know
There could be hell below, below
When the music is done and all the lights are low
I will remember the times when love would really glow
I could dream ahead before my world turned blue
And the light inside would only shine for you
I really don't think you know
There could be hell below, below
I really do hope you know
There could be hell below, below
I really don't think you know
There could be hell below, below
But I still carry the weight like I've always done before
It gets so heavy at times but what more can I do
I got to stay on track just like pops told me to
I really don't think you know
There could be hell below, below
I really do hope you know
There could be hell below, below
When the music is done and all the lights are low
I will remember the times when love would really glow
I could dream ahead before my world turned blue
And the light inside would only shine for you
I really don't think you know
There could be hell below, below
I really do hope you know
There could be hell below, below
I really don't think you know
There could be hell below, below

Year In Review
Why you always wanna love the ones that hurt you?
Then break down when they go and desert you
No, oh no
It's so hard to let 'em go
And watch 'em scatter when you start asking questions
Like why we always in the wrong direction?
Shame, such a shame
But you're doing it again
You don't wanna know more
And you've been down this road before
So leave it alone
Just leave it alone
And when you hear about the lies other people are sayin'
Just know they talk as they don't have a way inside
Oh they try
Look how it hurts their pride
You can never find a soul that's got no pain within
Just like you'll never find a singer without their sin, no sin
Will it ever end?
You don't wanna know more
And you've been down this road before
So leave it alone
Just leave it alone
No this ain't nothing new
The only thing you've got is you
So leave it alone
Just leave it alone
Oh oh
Oh
Then break down when they go and desert you
No, oh no
It's so hard to let 'em go
And watch 'em scatter when you start asking questions
Like why we always in the wrong direction?
Shame, such a shame
But you're doing it again
You don't wanna know more
And you've been down this road before
So leave it alone
Just leave it alone
And when you hear about the lies other people are sayin'
Just know they talk as they don't have a way inside
Oh they try
Look how it hurts their pride
You can never find a soul that's got no pain within
Just like you'll never find a singer without their sin, no sin
Will it ever end?
You don't wanna know more
And you've been down this road before
So leave it alone
Just leave it alone
No this ain't nothing new
The only thing you've got is you
So leave it alone
Just leave it alone
Oh oh
Oh

Bullet In The Brain
Bullet in the brain
I prefer than to remain the same
Bullet in the brain
I prefer than to remain the same
Looking back on where we used to be
Everything was clear, still I refuse to see
Hearts began to rust
The diamond turned to dust
And baby took her pain all out on me
Bullet in the brain
I prefer than to remain the same
Bullet in the brain
I prefer than to remain the same
I know I share the blame for what's in store
I was in the wrong but weren't you anymore
I let you use my gifts
To back your lying wits
I'll never know just what I did it for
Bullet in the brain
I prefer than to remain the same

Its Up To You Now
You wanted to love, but you didn't know how
That's okay, it's up to you now
It got so bad to where I wouldn't allow
But no more, it's up to you now
Let you go so you could go
Go to town
It's up to you now (uh uh uh)
It's up to you now (uh uh uh)
Smoke cigarettes and you act like a clown if you want
It's up to you now
You do what you like and now you wonder why they're gone
It's up to you now
Let you go so you could go
Let you go so you could go
It's up to you now
That's okay, it's up to you now
It got so bad to where I wouldn't allow
But no more, it's up to you now
Let you go so you could go
Go to town
It's up to you now (uh uh uh)
It's up to you now (uh uh uh)
Smoke cigarettes and you act like a clown if you want

Waiting On Words
I'm waiting on words
I'm waiting on the one I've been thinking of
And hoping you heard
I'm waiting on the words
Oh, goodbye
I heard you were leaving
Won't try changing your mind
Goodbye, Don't know where you're going
The only thing I really know
My love for you is real, I
I leave it behind
No longer will I want for a single thing
Stay true in my mind
You have to let 'em in
Oh, goodbye
I heard you were leaving
Won't try changing your mind
Goodbye, don't know where you're going
The only thing I really know
My love for you is real, I
[x2]
I'm waiting on the one I've been thinking of
And hoping you heard
I'm waiting on the words
Oh, goodbye
I heard you were leaving
Won't try changing your mind
Goodbye, Don't know where you're going
The only thing I really know
My love for you is real, I

No longer will I want for a single thing
Stay true in my mind

10 Lovers
When I hear them use your name
I get all choked up inside
It's not only from the shame
It's like 10 different lovers died
Except you're still just a mile away
But there's nothing left to say
Don't leave us down and out again
'Cause we might break instead of bend
I felt a little strain in the pouring rain
It washed away most everything
If I found another love
They must be forever true
'Cause if someone breaks this heart
Your old man right here is through
Heaven just seems so far away
When there's nothing left to say
Don't leave us down and out again
'Cause we might break instead of bend
I felt a little strain in the pouring rain
It washed away most everything
Don't leave us down and out again
'Cause we might break instead of bend
I felt a little strain in the pouring rain
It washed away most everything
Don't leave us down and out again
The little girl can't comprehend
She had another dream that her mama's gone
She's alright, but you're all wrong
I get all choked up inside
It's not only from the shame
It's like 10 different lovers died
Except you're still just a mile away
But there's nothing left to say
Don't leave us down and out again
'Cause we might break instead of bend
I felt a little strain in the pouring rain
It washed away most everything
If I found another love
They must be forever true
'Cause if someone breaks this heart
Your old man right here is through
Heaven just seems so far away
When there's nothing left to say
Don't leave us down and out again
'Cause we might break instead of bend
I felt a little strain in the pouring rain
It washed away most everything
Don't leave us down and out again
'Cause we might break instead of bend
I felt a little strain in the pouring rain
It washed away most everything
Don't leave us down and out again
The little girl can't comprehend
She had another dream that her mama's gone
She's alright, but you're all wrong

In Our Prime
Pour me down the drain, I disappear
Like every honest thing I used to hear
Like every lover hovers in my mind
We made our mark when we were in our prime
The house it burned, but nothing there was mine
We had it all when we were in our prime
Every now and then I see your face from way back when and I explode
Friends no longer egg me on, they bullshit serenade me like it's gold, how then we're told
I'm praying for some laughter, maybe joy for ever after till I die
I'm hungry for a change, I got my fill of other's pain, I realized
Opened my eyes
Like every lover hovers in my mind
We made our mark when we were in our prime
The house it burned, but nothing there was mine
We had it all when we were in our prime

Gotta Get Away
I got paid when I was on the road
In a heartbeat, Mama said Mama said
You got a one track mind, but you ain't gonna get all the time
She wasn't lyin'
I went from San Berdoo to Kalamazoo
Just to get away from you
I searched far and wide, hopin' I was wrong
But baby all the good women are gone
My rent's down, got used up
On gasoline, know what I mean, what I mean
Atlanta, GA by the end of the day
No other way, that's what I say
I went from San Berdoo to Kalamazoo
Just to get away from you
I searched far and wide, hopin' I was wrong
But baby all the good women are gone
And everything I had to say
Wish we'd gone so far away
Well now I
Can't stay
Blacktop, I can't stop
For no one, it's no fun, no fun
With a one track mind if you don't get lucky some time
But still I'm tryin'
I went from San Berdoo to Kalamazoo
Just to get away from you
I searched far and wide, hopin' I was wrong
But baby all the good women are gone
I went from San Berdoo to Kalamazoo
Just to get away from you
I searched far and wide, hopin' I was wrong
But baby all the good women are gone
In a heartbeat, Mama said Mama said
You got a one track mind, but you ain't gonna get all the time

Turn Blue is the eighth studio album by American rock duo the Black Keys. It was released through Nonesuch Records on May 12, 2014, and co-produced by Danger Mouse and the duo.
The record was their fourth collaboration with Danger Mouse, following their previous studio album, El Camino (2011), which was their biggest commercial and critical success to that point. For Turn Blue, Danger Mouse reprised his role from El Camino as an equal songwriting partner alongside guitarist Dan Auerbach and drummer Patrick Carney.
The Black Keys recorded the majority of Turn Blue at Sunset Sound in Hollywood, California, from July to August 2013, with additional recording taking place at Key Club in Benton Harbor, Michigan, and Auerbach's Easy Eye Sound Studio in Nashville, Tennessee, in early 2014.
The sessions coincided with Auerbach's divorce from his wife, which inspired much of the album's lyrics. The resulting material was more melancholy and slower paced than the uptempo, hook-laden songs from El Camino. The album exhibits influences from psychedelic rock and soul, while also including the band's usual blues and garage rock sound. In addition to representing the record's moody tone, the title was selected as a homage to the "turn blue" catchphrase used by 1960s horror host Ghoulardi.
The band announced the album in March 2014 via a tweet by retired boxer Mike Tyson and a series of cryptic YouTube videos featuring a hypnotist. The song "Fever" was released as the lead single in March, and it charted in several countries. Four additional singles were released, including "Gotta Get Away", which was a rock radio success in North America. Turn Blue received favorable reviews from critics, many of whom commented on Danger Mouse's growing influence on the band.
The album debuted at number one in the United States, Australia, and Canada, becoming the group's first record to top the charts in those countries. In May 2014, they embarked on a world tour in support of the album. At the 57th Annual Grammy Awards, Turn Blue was nominated for Best Rock Album, while "Fever" received nominations for Best Rock Performance and Best Rock Song.
