"Turn Me On" is a song by John D. Loudermilk that was first recorded and released by Mark Dinning in 1961, as the B-side to his single "Lonely Island". Other notable versions are by Nellie Rutherford and Nina Simone. Norah Jones released her version as the last single from her debut album Come Away with Me.

Like a lightbulb in a dark room
I`m just sitting here waiting for you
To come on home and turn me on
Like the desert waiting for the rain
Like a school kid waiting for the spring
I`m just sitting here waiting for you
To come on home and turn me on
My poor heart, it`s been so dark since you been gone
After all, you`re the one who turns me off
You`re the only one who can turn me back on
My hi-fi`s waiting for a new tune
The glass is waiting for some fresh ice cubes
I`m just sitting here waiting for you
To come on home and turn me on
Turn me on
