"Turnaround" shows Dru's experimental hip-hop side as he deliberately plays so far behind the beat, its almost off, creating a staggering "drunk on your love" hip hop groove. Beginning with a bitter break up lyric asking "Will you find peace of mind after all we've been through?" the dark tune makes an optimistic turn in the chorus beckoning the ex-lover to "turn around." Dru's breathtaking three octave vocal range is fully on display here, as he slips from an earthy tenor to a stratospheric falsetto in the final chorus. 

lyrics

There you go on your own and you've no place to go
Will you find peace of mind after all we've been through
There you slip past the block down the lonely avenue
And you find nothing left in your heart, nothing true

It's up to you what you do
Not what I say, can't make you stay
But anytime that you find
You'll be changin' your mind
It's okay, don't delay
Turnaround, turnaround

Burn the fuse, light a fire, I refuse to cut the wire
And I'm drunk on your love and this funk I can't rid of

It's up to you what you do
Not what I say, can't make you stay
But anytime that you find
You'll be changin' your mind
It's okay, don't delay
Turnaround, turnaround

(Guitar Solo)

I don't care, I don't mind
You ain't there to my spend my time
All the money I could spend
Oh it ain't worth a dime
I'm askin you, baby please
Turnaround, turnaround
