Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Well if I, could trace your private number, baby
All I know is that to me
You look like you're lots of fun
Open up your lovin' arms
I want some, want some
And I, I've got to have my way now, baby
All I know is that to me
You look like you're having fun
Open up your lovin' arms
Watch out, here I come
You spin me right 'round, baby
Right 'round, like a record, baby
Right 'round, 'round, 'round
You spin me right 'round, baby
Right 'round, like a record, baby
Right 'round, 'round, 'round
I (I, I, I)
I got to be your friend now, baby
And I (I, I, I)
Would like to move in just a little bit closer
All I know is that to me
You look like you're lots of fun
Open up your lovin' arms
Watch out, here I come
You spin me right 'round, baby
Right 'round, like a record, baby
Right 'round, 'round, 'round
You spin me right 'round, baby
Right 'round, like a record, baby
Right 'round, 'round, 'round
I want your love
I want your love
All I know is that to me
You look like you're lots of fun
Open up your lovin' arms
Watch out, here I come
You spin me right 'round, baby
Right 'round, like a record, baby
Right 'round, 'round, 'round
You spin me right 'round, baby
Right 'round, like a record, baby
Right 'round, 'round, 'round
You spin me right 'round, baby
Right 'round, like a record, baby
Right 'round, 'round, 'round
You spin me right 'round, baby
Right 'round, like a record, baby
Right 'round, 'round, 'round
You spin me right 'round, baby
Right 'round, like a record, baby
Right 'round, 'round, 'round
You spin me right 'round, baby
Right 'round, like a record, baby
Right 'round, 'round, 'round
The lyrics of "You Spin Me Round" revolve around the theme of desire, with the singer expressing a strong desire to be with the person he is addressing. The opening lines are indicative of this desire when the singer says that he wants to know the name of this person and trace their private number. The singer is drawn to the fun-loving spirit of the person he is addressing, and he sets his sights on them. He wants to be closer to this person and become their friend. The chorus, "You spin me right 'round, baby, right 'round like a record, baby, right 'round, 'round, 'round," captures the exhilaration of falling for someone and feeling that they are the center of one's universe.
The repeated refrain of "You spin me right 'round" also suggests that the singer feels like he's losing control and is at the mercy of the person he is addressing. The line, "You look like you're having fun," is notable because it indicates that the singer isn't sure whether the person they are addressing is enjoying themselves or merely appearing to have fun. This ambiguity underscores the sense of mystery that surrounds the object of the singer's desire. The refrain of "I want your love" brings the song to an intense and passionate end, emphasizing the singer's unrequited longing for the person he is addressing.
