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 of "Round & Round" by Jonell featuring Method Man, Kool G. Rap, and Pharoahe Monch revolve around the theme of a failed relationship where the singer tries to stop her thoughts from running in circles about the past with her partner. She thought that her partner could understand her pain and lead her from darkness to light, but instead, he turned her hopes into pain, making her fall again. As she realizes that he played games with her and now lied, she decides to end the relationship and asks him to pack his bags and leave. The chorus "Round and around we go" refers to the vicious cycle of their relationship, which keeps repeating with no resolution.
The singer seems to be stuck in the past and struggling to move on with her life. She feels that her partner doesn't understand her and is not the right one for her. She is determined to get away and start anew, which is evident from the lines "To-day I made up my mind - to get away, Every-day, I sit and pray, every day, every-day." The repetition of "It's gonna rain" suggests that the relationship is over, and it's time for her to move on.
