Jagged Edge Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

[Intro:]
Aight, so look (No)
I know you think everything I say (Yeah)
I jus' be talkin' (Oh)
It's alotta B.S, I know (We keep, we keep, we keep, we keep yeah, oh)
But we gotta stop goin' (Oh, we keep, we keep, we keep, we keep yeah)
Back and forth, back and forth
Up and down, up and down
Round, round, round and round
If it's up to me
I'll make it happen

[Chorus:]
Baby, we be goin' round, and round and round
It's time to lock you down (Time to lock you down)
And I'm givin' up them girls
On other sides of town
Only wantin' you to be around
Baby, we be goin' round, and round and round
It's time to settle down
Givin' up them girls
On other sides of town
And justify this love that I found
We be goin' round, and round and round

[Verse 1:]
If a tornado swept through towns
We'd be goin' round and round
So many years that we stayed down
You sound like no other sound (No)
If I described my heart right now
Gotta turn my love side down
I'm on my knees, 'fronta of you right now
And I wanna make you mine

[Pre-Chorus:]
Where will this road lead us right now
Where we'll stop, nobody knows
We'll reach our pot of gold somehow
Just keep holdin' on
Like a merry-go-round
We keep, goin' round and round
We keep, we keep, goin' round and round
And I'm ready when you are, to let my game go

[Chorus:]
Baby, we be goin' round, and round and round
It's time to lock you down (Time to lock you down)
And I'm givin' up them girls
On other sides of town
Only wantin' you to be around (round, round, round)
Baby, we be goin' round, and round and round
Time to settle down (Time to settle down)
Givin' up them girls
On other sides of town
And justify this love that I found
We be goin' round, and round and round

[Verse 2:]
It's like the spokes on an old 6-4
We be be goin' round and round
No one but you can hold this crown
So here's the plan girl
I'm tradin' in my J's for some flip-flops
I'm spendin' all my nights here with you
We so wrapped up in this beat, like it's hip-hop
I'm never gonna let you go

[Pre-Chorus:]
Where will this road lead us right now
Where we'll stop, nobody knows
We'll reach our pot of gold somehow
Just keep holdin' on
Like a merry-go-round
We keep, goin' round and round
We keep, we keep, goin' round and round
And I'm ready when you are, to let my game go

[Chorus:]
Baby, we be goin' round, and round and round
It's time to lock you down (Time to settle down)
And I'm givin' up them girls
On other sides of town
Only wantin' you to be around (Only wantin' you be around)
Baby, we be goin' round, and round and round
Time to settle down (Yeah)
Givin' up them girls
On other sides of town (All the sides of town)
And justify this love that I found
We be goin' round, and round and round

[Breakdown:]
Baby, the storm is over
Been through our worst together
Stoppin' us now, no ups and downs
We ain't goin round and round, no more

[Chorus:]
Baby, we be goin' round, and round and round
It's time to lock you down (Time to lock you down)
And I'm givin' up them girls
On other sides of town (Baby yeah)
Only wantin' you to be around (Ehhh)
Baby, we be goin' round, and round and round
Time to settle down (I'm given you the love you deserve)
Givin' up them girls
On other sides of town
And justify this love that I found




We be goin' round, and round and round
Ooooh........

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Jagged Edge's "Round and Round" seem to be a plea from the singer to their significant other to stop going "back and forth, up and down" and to settle down. The singer acknowledges that they may have been giving a lot of "B.S" in the past, but they are ready to make a commitment and give up other people to make their partner the center of their world. The chorus emphasizes this need for commitment, with the repeated phrase "it's time to lock you down" and a declaration that the singer has found love that they want to justify.


Throughout the song, the metaphor of going "round and round" is used repeatedly, creating a sense of the cyclical nature of relationships. The "tornado" and "merry-go-round" imagery speak to the emotional ups and downs that can come with a relationship, with the singer indicating that they are ready to put an end to those tumultuous times. The breakdown towards the end of the song seems to signal a new beginning, with the storm passed and the singer ready to give their partner the love they deserve.


Overall, "Round and Round" is a song about the growth of love and the recognition that sometimes in order to move forward, you have to let go of the past and commit fully to the person you love.

We are no longer stuck in a cycle of repetition
