You Spin Me Round
Bliss Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If I, I get to know your name
Well if I, could trace your private number, baby

All I know is that to me
You look like you're lots of fun
Open up your lovin' arms
I want some, want some
I set my sights on you
(And no one else will do)
And I, I've got to have my way now, baby

All I know is that to me
You look like you're having fun
Open up your lovin' arms
Watch out here I come

You spin me right round, baby
Right round like a record, baby
Right round, round, round
You spin me right round, baby
Right round like a record, baby
Right round, round, round

I, I got to be your friend now, baby
And I would like to move in just a little bit closer

All I know is that to me
You look like you're lots of fun
Open up your lovin' arms
Watch out, here I come

You spin me right round, baby
Right round like a record, baby
Right round, round, round
You spin me right round, baby
Right round like a record, baby
Right round, round, round

All I know is that to me
You look like you're lots of fun
Open up your lovin' arms
Watch out, here I come

You spin me right round, baby
Right round like a record, baby
Right round, round, round
You spin me right round, baby
Right round like a record, baby
Right round, round, round

You spin me right round, baby
Right round like a record, baby
Right round, round, round
You spin me right round, baby
Right round like a record, baby
Right round, round, round

You spin me right round, baby
Right round like a record, baby
Right round, round, round
You spin me right round, baby
Right round like a record, baby
Right round, round, round

You spin me right round, baby
Right round like a record, baby
Right round, round, round
You spin me right round, baby




Right round like a record, baby
Right round, round, round

The third verse is where the singer declares that they would like to become friends and move in a little closer. The chorus repeats the phrase "You spin me right round" multiple times, implying that the singer is feeling dizzy from their attraction to this person.

I’ve got a feeling I mixed this!

QUÉ PADRE TEMA

@GeeGeeRuby

How did he cheat?
And no, you're totally wrong. He didnt lose his voice forever, in fact he still sings, and quite as stupendous as he's done in the 80's. Yes, for a while he couldnt sing for a certain amount of time due to his surgery crisis, but hey, he couldve died, whats your excuse?

@GeeGeeRuby

***** The way his face looks like  now is not the way he intended it to look. You just have to do what you can with what you've got. 
And frankly, before and after surgery, his face is no where near ugly, but what's your excuse?

@rickschweitzer9845

It's ok. But of all the covers of this wonderful song I'd have to say that Mind Shredders version is the best. RIP Pete.

@danielcasey2729

Cool shit it the best I herd I tell u something man I'm trying to learn this song too, I'm getting far. Respect for u, but today people like to cheat, so hoping u didn't, but your the one who has to live with being a cheater.

@anothersettlementneedsyour9628

This is p too close to the original. The point of cover is to make your version.

@danielcasey2729

And yes the singer of dead or alive lip singed live and he cheated. I think after his face stuff when he got sick. He lost his voice for ever. The voice is weak so if you get sick bad. Thier goes your voice. Anyway that's what I think. When he singed when he was at is best, he still cheated. Now I don't get that.
