Itโฒs her or it's me
Itโฒs up then it's down with you
You're here then you leave
Weโฒre good then weโฒre bad
We fight, you get mad
Make up then it starts all over again
Spinning around like a roundabout, uh
Getting dizzy on a roundabout, uh
Spinning around, getting dizzy on a roundabout
(Wee)
Spinning around like a roundabout, uh
Getting dizzy on a roundabout, uh
Spinning around, getting dizzy on a roundabout
The birds and the bees
It's her or itโฒs me
It's right then itโฒs wrong with you
Why love gotta hurt?
You're here then you leave
And I never learn
I fuss and you scream
You storm out then you return, oh
(Wee)
Spinning around like a roundabout, uh
Getting dizzy on a roundabout, uh
Spinning around, getting dizzy on a roundabout
(Wee)
Spinning around like a roundabout, uh
Getting dizzy on a roundabout, uh
Spinning around, getting dizzy on a roundabout
Iโฒm not a fool
You pick and choose
When you gon' love me, babe
I'm not a fool
I paid my dues
I want a real man
Iโฒm not a fool
You pick and choose
When you gonโฒ love me, babe

The song "Dizzy" by LIVVIA explores the tumultuous nature of a relationship where the couple is constantly spinning in circles. The lyrics depict the back and forth nature of the relationship: good, then bad, fighting, making up, and then starting all over again. The chorus compares the relationship to a roundabout, where the constant spinning and turning leads to dizziness and disorientation. The singer questions why love has to hurt and admits that she's not a fool who will continue to be treated poorly. She wants a real man who will love her consistently and not just pick and choose when to give her affection.
Overall, "Dizzy" is a relatable and emotionally honest song that speaks to the ups and downs of relationships. The use of the roundabout as a metaphor for the relationship adds a unique and playful element to the lyrics. The song's catchy chorus and LIVVIA's smooth vocals make it a memorable and enjoyable track to listen to.
