I'm an ever rollin' wheel, without a destination real I'm an ever spinning top, whirling around till I drop Oh but what am I to do, my mind is in a whirlpool Give me a little hope, one small thing to cling to You got me going in circles (oh round and round I go) You got me going in circles (Oh round and round I go, I'm spun out over you) I'm a faceless clock, with timeless hopes that never stop Lord but I feel that way, of my soul, my soul is stay Oh but what am I to do, my mind is in a whirlpool Give me a little hope, one small thing to cling to You got me going in circles (oh round and round I go) You got me going in circles (Oh round and round I go) I'm spun out over you (I need you baby) over you (I need you baby) Spun out over you (I need you baby, I need you baby (oh baby) baby) I'm spun (I need you baby) I said I'm spun out over you (I need you baby) Spun out over you (I need you baby, I need you baby Baby, I need you baby I spun out over you I need you baby
