Round and Round
Mickey Ratt Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You make the night, I always cross the line
Tightened our belts, abuse ourselves
Get in our way, we'll put you on your shelf
Another day, some other way
We're gonna go, but then we'll see you again
I've had enough, we've had enough
Cold in vain, she said
(Pre-chorus)
I knew right from the beginning
That you would end up winnin'
I knew right from the start
You'd put an arrow through my heart
(Chorus)
Round and round
With love we'll find a way just give it time
Round and round
What comes around goes around
I'll tell you why
Dig
Lookin' at you, lookin' at me
The way you move, you know it's easy to see
The neon light's on me tonight
I've got a way, we're gonna prove it tonight
Like Romeo to Juliet
Time and time, I'm gonna make you mine
I've had enough, we've had enough
It's all the same, she said
(Pre-chorus)
(Chorus)
Yeah!
Solo
Out on the streets, that's where we'll meet
You make the night, I always cross the line
Tightened our belts, abuse ourselves
Get in our way, we'll put you on your shelf
(Chorus)
Round and round
With love we'll find a way just give it time, time, time, time
Round and round
What comes around goes around
I'll tell you why, why, why, why
Round and round

The lines "Out on the streets, that's where we'll meet, you make the night, I always cross the line" suggest that they may have met in a social setting and that the person being talked about may have a wild streak that pulls the singer in.
