Circles My head is going 'round in circles My mind is caught up in a whirlpool Draggin' me down Time Will tell if I'll take the homeward track Dizziness will make my feet walk back Walk right back to you Everything I do I think of you No matter how I try I can't get back Circles Leading me back to you Round and around and around And around and around And around and around And around and around Round and round and round Like a fool I go Down and down in the pool I go Draggin' me down Everything I do I think of you No matter how I try I can't get back Circles Leading me back to you Just one thing could kill the pain Of leaving you But it gets me so dizzy that I'm walkin' right back again Back to you Time Will tell if these dreams are ? fact Though I left I'm comin' back Comin' on home to you
