Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yeah-huh, yeah-huh, yeah, yeah, ohh
I try and I try to stop the forces that go round in my head and I
thought you were the one to understand
You turned my darkness towards the light
But once again you touched my hopes to pain
My soul's the same, my tears start flitting in the rain
I'm fallin' again.. fallin' again..
[Chorus: x 2]
I really don't know what you came here for
Round and around we go!
Consider your bags outside the door
Round and around we go!
[Jonell]
If you don't understand where I'm comin' from
then my heart is tellin' me you're not the one
All the games you played and now you lied
You're not the one, for me no more so baby bye bye
Pack yo' bags and get to steppin'
You got to let it go you need to stop trippin'
I hope you don't think I'll let you back in
cause youse, a, fool
[Chorus]
[Jonell]
It's gonna rain, it's gonna rain
It's gonna rain, it's gonna rain
It's gonna rain, it's gonna rain
It's gonna rain, it's gonna rain
To-day I made up my mind - to get away
Every-day, I sit and pray, everyday, every-day
To-day I made up my mind - to get away
Every-day, I sit and pray, everyday, every-day
[Chorus: x 2]
[Jonell]
Every-day, every (round and around we go)
To get away, away (round and around we go)
Hi-Tek (round and around we go)
Round and round, round and round (round and around we go)
We go round, and, round
We go in-side-out (round and around we go)
We go back, and, forth
We go round, and round (round and around we go)

The lyrics to the song "Round and Round" by Jonell featuring Kool G Rap, Method Man, and Pharoahe Monch are about a failed relationship. Jonell sings about how she tried to stop the constant thoughts in her head, but thought the other person in the relationship would help her. However, she was wrong and they hurt her, causing her to fall again. She tells the other person to leave and not come back because they are not the one for her anymore. The chorus emphasizes the cyclical nature of relationships and how they can keep going around and around without resolution. The repeated phrase "round and around we go" reflects this idea.
The second verse expands on the idea that the other person played games and lied, proving to Jonell that they are not the one for her. She tells them to pack their bags and leave, not to think that they can come back into her life. The bridge where Jonell repeats "It's gonna rain" could represent the emotional storm she is feeling due to the failed relationship.
Overall, the lyrics convey a sense of disappointment, hurt, and frustration with a relationship that didn't work out. It is a cautionary tale of how relationships can sometimes keep going in circles without resolve, which can be damaging to one's emotional well-being.

Yeah-huh, yeah-huh, yeah, yeah, ohh
Expressing affirmation and excitement, with a hint of confusion and hesitation
I try and I try to stop the forces that go round in my head and I
I continuously attempt to control the thoughts and emotions swirling inside my mind
thought you were the one to understand
I believed you were capable of empathizing with me
You turned my darkness towards the light
You illuminated the dark parts of me and brought positivity into my life
But once again you touched my hopes to pain
You disappointed me, crushing my expectations and causing me emotional anguish
My soul's the same, my tears start flitting in the rain
My inner self remains unchanged, but I am overcome with sadness and tears
I'm fallin' again.. fallin' again..
I am descending into the depths of despair once more
I really don't know what you came here for
I do not understand your intentions or motives for being here
Round and around we go!
We continue to go through the same cycle of events
Consider your bags outside the door
Please leave and take your belongings with you
If you don't understand where I'm comin' from
If you are unable to comprehend my perspective
then my heart is tellin' me you're not the one
Then it is clear to me that you are not the right person for me
All the games you played and now you lied
You manipulated and deceived me in the past, and now you are lying to me again
You're not the one, for me no more so baby bye bye
You are no longer the person I want to be with, so please leave
Pack yo' bags and get to steppin'
Gather your things and leave immediately
You got to let it go you need to stop trippin'
You must move on and stop obsessing over me
I hope you don't think I'll let you back in
I pray that you do not expect me to forgive you and allow you back into my life
cause youse, a, fool
Because you are foolish for thinking that things could go back to how they were before
It's gonna rain, it's gonna rain
There is going to be trouble or sadness ahead
To-day I made up my mind - to get away
I have decided to leave and get some distance from you
Every-day, I sit and pray, everyday, every-day
Every day, I take time to pray and reflect on my life
We go round, and, round
We circle back to the same point, over and over
We go in-side-out (round and around we go)
We experience various internal and external changes and cycles of events repeatedly
We go back, and, forth
We move in both directions, from one end to the other and vice versa
Did you hear me?
Are you listening and comprehending my words?
