Round and Round
Ratt (US) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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
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

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

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

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

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

Yeah

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

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

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

Overall Meaning

"Round and Round" is a hit song by American rock band Ratt, released in 1984. The song centers on a protagonist who has fallen in love with a woman he meets on the streets. He knows that she will end up winning his heart and make him fall for her eventually. The lyrics suggest that love can be a wild ride, and it might take some time to find the right path in a relationship. The chorus of the song, "Round and round, with love, we'll find a way, just give it time", reminds us that even though love might have its ups and downs, it's worth the ride in the end.


The verses of the song are about a man who is trying to win over a woman he is attracted to. The neon lights shining on him give him the confidence he needs to pursue her. The line "tighten our belts, abuse ourselves" could be seen as a metaphor for taking risks and pushing boundaries when pursuing love. The line, "you make the night, I always cross the line" could also suggest that his love interest has a wild streak that attracts him.


Line by Line Meaning

Out on the streets, that's where we'll meet
We'll cross paths in public places


You make the night, I always cross the line
You set the mood, I'm the risk taker


Tightened our belts, abuse ourselves
We sacrifice and mistreat ourselves


Get in our way, we'll put you on your shelf
Don't obstruct us or we'll defeat you


Another day, some other way
We'll try again tomorrow with a different strategy


We're gonna go, but then we'll see you again
We'll part ways, but we'll meet once more


I've had enough, we've had enough
We've reached our limit


Cold in vain, she said
She was dismissive


I knew right from the beginning That you would end up winnin'
I predicted your eventual victory


I knew right from the start You'd put an arrow through my heart
I knew you would hurt me emotionally


Round and round With love we'll find a way just give it time
We can overcome obstacles with patience and affection


Round and round What comes around goes around I'll tell you why
Karma always catches up with you


Dig
Start digging deep, focus and listen closely


Lookin' at you, lookin' at me The way you move, you know it's easy to see
We're attracted to each other and it's obvious


The neon light's on me tonight I've got a way, we're gonna prove it tonight
I have a chance to shine under the bright lights and prove myself


Like Romeo to Juliet Time and time, I'm gonna make you mine
I'm pursuing you romantically and won't give up


It's all the same, she said
She's indifferent

With love we'll find a way, just give it time
Round and round
What comes around goes around
I'll tell you why, why, why, why
Round and round

The 80s are the best. It's what we all listened to right before we graduated.

Good song, lousy video.
