Circle
CRIMES! Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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, around and around I go
You got me going in circles
Oh, around and around I go

First you go and tell me this
Then you go and doin that
Its mixed signals in my head
You never give me straight facts
Comin' at me with these stories
Taken up a playa time
You seemed confused up in yo head
And you can not make up your mind
I'd be the first one to listnin'
But I think its disrespect
Lyin' through yo teeth talkin' out the side of yo neck
Got me goin' round and round
Make a playa wanna hurt ya
Thinkin' that you was straight up
Got me goin' in a circle

Ay, my head is constantly spinnin' twistin'
'Cause Nadas was trippin' on me
First time for ya lovy dubbi
And now he call me his homie
Wishy washy kinda feelin
Tryna play wit my emotions
And mumbled the words I love you
Went then said that he was jokin'
Stuffed up in the mind
Tough love is what he calls it
I don't read between the lines
Now you need to get the talkin'
Spell it out and make it clear
Don't tell me what I wanna hear
Yes or no jus' goin' and say it
'Cause inside I'm goin' crazy

You got me going in circles
Oh, around and around I go
You got me going in circles
Oh, around and around I go

I'm strung out over you (you, ova you)

Yes it relaxes me, satisfactory,
Treat me like a queen
It was love at first sight on that night
Once I stepped on the scene
Now my body once I got it
Fulfillin' all my needs
He had my feenin', obscenein' not meanin'
Jus' smellin' his grease
I really want him, yes I want him
But the law disagrees
Our loves illegal certain people
Man I wish they could see me
He got me goin' in circles
As dizzy as I wanna be
Down through my toes
He feel my soul
Man I want him badly

Ay, shawty got me spinnin'
Like I drunk tha whole fifth
Waitin' on my baby girl call her I need a lift
Baby saved out the rip
But can't save my ship
Love the way the jam wobble
In the thong that she get
Prey to blissin' ova here
Let me push yo button
I'm a real gangsta shawty, don't worry bout nothin'
5 hours lata, bussin' unconditional lovin'
And can tell the whole click
This one here, I'm cuffin'

You got me going in circles
Oh, around and around I go
You got me going in circles
Oh, around and around I go





I'm strung out over you (I need you, ova you)

I'm an ever spinning top
I feel like I'm constantly moving and can't stop


Whirling around 'till I drop
I'm always on the go and feel like I might collapse from exhaustion


Oh, but what am I to do
I'm unsure how to slow down or find balance in my life


My mind is in a whirlpool
My thoughts are jumbled and chaotic


Give me a little hope
I need something positive to hold on to


One small thing to cling to
Even a small bit of positivity can make all the difference


You got me going in circles
You're making me feel confused and unsure with your mixed signals


Oh, around and around I go
I feel like I'm stuck in a repetitive cycle of confusion and frustration


First you go and tell me this
You said one thing to me


Then you go and doin that
But then you did something entirely different


Its mixed signals in my head
You're sending me conflicting messages and it's overwhelming me


You never give me straight facts
I can never be sure of what you're really thinking or feeling


Comin' at me with these stories
You keep telling me stories and I don't know what to believe


Taken up a playa time
You're wasting my time with these games

It was love at first sight on that night
I fell in love with you the first time we met


Once I stepped on the scene
Once I met you, I knew my life would never be the same


Now my body once I got it
Being with you physically fulfills me


Fulfillin' all my needs
You satisfy me emotionally and physically


He had my feenin', obscenein' not meanin'
I was addicted to you, even when it didn't make sense


Jus' smellin' his grease
Just being near you excited me


I really want him, yes I want him
I crave you and want to be with you


But the law disagrees
But our love is forbidden by the law or society


Our loves illegal certain people
Certain people don't accept our love


Man I wish they could see me
I wish they could see how much I love you


As dizzy as I wanna be
I'm so enamored with you that I don't care how disorienting it feels


Down through my toes
Your love reaches every part of me


He feel my soul
You understand me on a deeper level


Man I want him badly
I desire you passionately


Ay, shawty got me spinnin'
You make me feel dizzy and disoriented


Like I drunk tha whole fifth
Like I've had too much to drink


Waitin' on my baby girl call her I need a lift
I'm waiting for you to come save me and take me away


Baby saved out the rip
You've always been there for me from the start


But can't save my ship
But even you can't fix the mess I'm in


Love the way the jam wobble
I love being with you and enjoying life


In the thong that she get
In the outfit that she wears


Prey to blissin' ova here
I feel overwhelmed with happiness when I'm with you


Let me push yo button
Let me make you feel good


I'm a real gangsta shawty, don't worry bout nothin'
I'm a tough guy and I'll protect you


5 hours lata, bussin' unconditional lovin'
Even after spending hours together, I still love you completely


And can tell the whole click
And I want to tell everyone how much I love you


This one here, I'm cuffin'
I'm committed to you and want to be with you for the long haul


I'm strung out over you (I need you, ova you)
I'm addicted to you and can't get enough of you
