Going in Circles Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm an ever-rolling wheel
Without a destination real
And I'm an ever-spinning top
Whirling around 'til I drop

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, but what am I to do
My mind is in a whirlpool
Give me a little hope
One small thing to cling to, yeah

[Chorus]
You got me going in circles
Oh, around and around I go
Going in circles
Oh, around and around I go
I'm strung out over you (Over you, over you)
Over you, ooh...

[Verse 2]
I'm a faceless clock
With timeless hopes, that never stop (Never, never)
When I feel that way
You know my soul's at stake (You know)
[Pre-Chorus]
But what am I to do
My mind is in a whirlpool
Give me a little hope
One small thing to cling to
Oh, I"m clinging to you, baby

[Chorus]
You got me going in circles
Oh, around and around I go
Going in circles
And oh, around and around I go

[Outro]
I'm strung out over you (I need you, baby)
Uh-huh, I need (I need you, baby)
Call me (I need you, baby)
I need baby, my baby, my baby
My baby, my baby girl
(I need you, baby) I can't help myself
(I need you, baby) You know I can't help myself
(I need you, baby) (I need you, baby)
(I need you, baby) I need you, baby, you baby
(I need you, baby) Call me
(I need you, baby) Ooh... (I need you, baby)
Ooh baby, yeah (I need you, baby)
Come see about me (I need you, baby)
See about your baby (I need you, baby)
Ooh... (I need you, baby)
I need you, baby (I need you, baby)
Yeah (I need you, baby)

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
