Everyway That I Can was the Turkish entry at the Eurovision Song Contest 2003 in Riga performed by Sertab Erener. She chose the song after being given free reign by TRT to select her own entry for her appearance.
It was performed 4th on the night following Ireland and preceding Malta. At the close of voting, it was declared the winner with 167 points - only 3 points separating it from third-place Russia - and gave Turkey its first win.
Lyrics[]
I feel you're moving on a different cause
Makin' a way for a distant course
You say you love me and you roll your eyes
Turn to stare at the empty skies
I thought it was over and we passed all that
All we've done is to pass back to frame number one
C'mon, now, now
I wanna show you all again what it would be like
Just let go and let me love you
Everyway that I can
I'll try to make you love me again
Everyway that I can
I'll give you all my love and then
Everyway that I can
I'll cry, I'll die and make you mine again
Hold me closer, oh, so good
You make me feel just like I should
I know whatcha thinkin': uh-hu good
Now the rest of the world is overruled
Tell me whatcha see in other girls all around
Come on closer and tell me whatcha don't find here
Come on, now, now
I wanna give you everything you've been missin' out
Just let go and let me love you
Everyway that I can
I'll try to make you love me again
Everyway that I can
I'll give you all my love and then
Everyway that I can
I'll cry, I'll die and make you mine again
I'm in love with you
I'll do all you want me to
You make me wanna huh-huh
Make me wanna huh-huh-huh
I'm in love with you
I'll do all you want me to
You make me wanna huh-huh
Make me wanna huh-huh-huh
Nothing in the world that could stop me, no sir
Nothing in the world that could stop me, no sir
No, no, no, no, no
Everyway that I can
I'll try to make you love me again
Everyway that I can
I'll give you all my love and then
Everyway that I can
I'll give you all my love and then
Everyway that I can
I'll cry, I'll die and make you mine again
