"I Wish You Could Have Turned My Head (And Left My Heart Alone)" is a song written by Sonny Throckmorton. He was also the first artist to release it, doing so on Last Cheater's Waltz in 1978. His version went to number 54 on the country music chart that year.

Conway Twitty recorded the song on his 1979 album Cross Winds.

T. G. Sheppard recorded the song on his 1982 album Finally!

The Oak Ridge Boys released the song in July 1982 as the second single from their album Bobbie Sue. This version went to number two on the same chart.[1]
