Round And Round
Gomez Selena Lyrics

Round and round
Repetition to emphasize the cyclic nature of the situation.

You see me standing there
The singer feels ignored and overlooked by their partner.

And act like you don't know me
The partner is pretending to not recognize the singer.

But last night you were calling me
The partner was reaching out to the artist recently.

Saying you want me
The partner expressed desire for the artist.

Oh why you always make me feel
The partner manipulates the singer into feeling emotionally unstable.

Like I'm the one that's crazy
The singer is made to question their sanity.

You feel my heart racing
The artist is physically affected by their feelings.

My-my heart racing
Repetition to emphasize the physical response of the artist.

Boy, I need you here with me
The artist desires more emotional closeness with their partner.

We cant go on this way
The current situation is not sustainable.

I'm falling hard for you
The artist has strong feelings for the partner.

All I can say we're
The only thing the singer knows for sure is that they are going in circles.

Going round and round
Repetition to emphasize the cyclic nature of the situation.

We're never gonna stop
The singer sees no end to the cycle.

We'll never get where we're going
The artist is unsure if the relationship is going anywhere.

Well your gonna miss me
The partner will feel their absence.

'Cause I'm getting dizzy
The singer is exhausted from the repeating cycle.

You tried to pull me close
The partner is attempting to reconcile.

And whisper in my ear
The partner is trying to be persuasive.

You always told me lies
The partner has a history of dishonesty.

I cried out all my tears
The artist has already shed many tears over this relationship.

I pushed my feelings to the side
The singer tried to ignore their own feelings.

But then you bring them back
The partner triggers the artist's emotions again.

B-bring 'em back
Repetition to emphasize the partner's role in bringing back the singer's repressed emotions.

Love me or love me not
The singer is questioning the authenticity of their partner's feelings.

I'm staring at the clock
The singer is waiting for a resolution.

I pick them flower petals off
The artist is imagining a scenario where their partner chooses them.

And then I watch the drop
The artist is disappointed with the outcome.

We're never gonna stop going
Reiteration of the hopeless nature of the cycle.

Well you're gonna miss me
Repetition to emphasize that the partner will regret the singer's departure.

'Cause I'm getting dizzy
Repetition to emphasize the exhaustion of the artist.

Going round and round and round
Repetition to emphasize the cyclic nature of the situation.
