Round and Round
Ratt - Round And Round 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
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
"Round and Round" by Ratt is a classic rock song that seems to tell the story of chasing love and the pitfalls of that pursuit. The song seems to be about two people who are on the prowl for love in the streets, in search of another chance at finding romance. They are willing to put themselves on the line, disregarding any consequences, just to find their next love interest.
The lyrics talk about a couple who have been doing this for quite some time and how they have had enough of the pain that comes with endless searching. However, they keep getting drawn back to the streets and the search begins again. The lead singer seems to be smitten with this woman, and he knows deep down that she holds the power to his heart, regardless of how many times he tries to break free of her spell.
The phrase “round and round” seems to mirror the cyclical nature of the love-seeking journey. It highlights the idea that the end of one journey is the beginning of another as we continue on to find what we are looking for. The song reminds us that our search for love is a never-ending cycle that continues until we find what we are looking for.
