Round
Jaki Graham Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Have you ever wondered why you sometimes see me smile?
It's to tell you that I care.
And the best thing you can do is come and follow through

Just to hold me
Just be there.

I'm falling in love
I can't help myself.
You're making it clear that I need no one else.
The state of the heart that just won't give in

Right here's where we start
Cause you send me.

Round and around and around round
Round and around and around round
That's what you do

Round and around and around round
I'm falling for you

Round and around and around round.
Has it ever crossed your mind that you might want to find
Something else or someone new?
Cause the pleasures that you give I just don't want to share

Not with no one
Just with you!
I'm falling in love
I can't help myself

Round and around and around round
That's what you do

Round and around and around round
The state of my heart

Round and around and around round
Come follow me through

Round and around and around round, come on.
Give me your all the best way you can
Make me feel you're the only man.
Give me the touch that'll bring me to the knees.
And now that I know how your love can be

Hold me closer
Baby
Be good to me.

Can't help falling in love, just the state of my heart
I just can't get enough, oh
How you send me.
Round and around and around round, you go straight to my head

Round and around and around round, that's what you do
Round and around and around round, I'm falling for you
Round and around and around round, oh
You send me.





Round and around and around round

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Jaki Graham's song Round And Around describe a love that is all-consuming and irresistible. The opening lines ask if the listener has ever wondered why the singer smiles - it's a sign that she cares deeply. The singer then urges the listener to come and be with her, just to hold her and be there for her. She is falling in love and cannot help herself, and the listener is making it clear that she needs no one else. The state of her heart is one that won't give in, and the listener has the power to make her feel complete.


The chorus repeats the phrase "Round and around and around round" to describe the all-consuming nature of the singer's love. It's something that she can't resist and can't help, and the listener is the one who makes her feel this way. The verse asks if the listener has ever considered finding someone else or something new, but the singer insists that the pleasure she feels with the listener is something she doesn't want to share with anyone else. The singer urges the listener to give her all they can, to make her feel like she's the only woman in the world. She wants to be brought to her knees with the power of the listener's touch, and she promises to be good to them in return.

I was nineteen and had just started going out to pubs and clubs 'properly'
Properly - because until then I'd been driving my mates around everywhere.

This song reminds me of great, fun times in days when you had to dress smartly to get in decent pubs and you wouldn't get in a club if you weren't suited up!
I'm talking Rick Astley-type suits, not Penguin!
No wazzocks around - off their t*ts on Coke or zonked out on whatever - just bottles of Bud,, Two Dogs and a good time in Ritzys (or whatever it was called in those days)

Happy, happy days.

This is a smasher, Jaki has a lovely voice and the lyrics are simply heartwarming.
