going around one more time

my heart had been broken and i couldn't take no more. i shuttered up my windows and i bolted tight my door. then i took one look at you and i nearly lost my mind. now i'm going 'round going 'round

going 'round going around one more time. yes i'm going 'round going 'round

going 'round going around one more time. betty was a little heartbreaker

it didn't quite work out. she did a number on my confidence

i was riddled with self doubt. i said that's it

i'm through

i quit

then juanita

she looked so fine. now i'm going 'round going 'round

going 'round going around one more time. yes i'm going 'round going 'round

going 'round going around one more time. 'round and 'round in a circle

it's always the same. one moment you swear you've had enough

the next you've got to know her name. all on my own

it wasn't that bad

i was getting by as i could get. i stopped into a drug store for one pack of cigarettes. she didn't have a quarter

had to call her cousin kate

and could i lend her maybe one thin dime?

now i'm going 'round going 'round

going 'round going around one more time. yes i'm going 'round going 'round

going 'round going around one more time.
