Selena Gomez攀 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Round and round
Round and round
Round and round
You see me standing there
And act like you don't know me
But last night you were calling me
Saying you want me
Oh, why you always make me feel
Like I'm the one, that's crazy
You got my heart racin'
My, my heart racin'
Boy, I need you here with me
We can't go on this way
I'm fallen hard for you
All I can say
We're goin' round and round
We're never gonna stop
Goin' round and round
We'll never get where
We're goin'
Round and round
Well you're gonna miss me
'Cause I'm getting dizzy
Goin' round and round
And round and round
You try to pull me close
And whisper in my ear
You always told me lies
I've cried out all my tears
I push my feelings to the side
But then you bring 'em back
B-Bring 'em back
Now you got me singing
Boy, I need you here with me
We can't go on this way
I'm falling hard for you
All I can say
We're goin'
Round and round
We're never gonna stop
Goin' round and round
We'll never get where
We're goin'
Round and round
Well you're gonna miss me
'Cause I'm getting dizzy
Goin' round and round
And round
Love me or love me not
I'm starin' at the clock
I take them flower petals off
And then I watch them drop (x2)
Boy
I need you here with me
I can't go on this way
I'm falling hard for you
All I can sayeeaay
Round and round
We're never gonna stop
Goin' round and round
We'll never get where
We're goin'
Round and round
Well you're gonna miss me
'Cause I'm getting dizzy
Goin' round and round
And round and round
We're never gonna stop
Goin' round and round
We'll never get where
We're goin' round and round
Well you're gonna miss me
'Cause I'm getting dizzy
Goin' round and round
And round
Ooo oh Ooo oh Ooo oh (x3)
In Selena Gomez's song "Round and Round," she sings about the cycle of her tumultuous relationship with someone who she believes doesn't treat her fairly. She opens the song with the repeated phrase "Round and Round," almost symbolizing the cyclical nature of her relationship. She describes how this person can sometimes act like he doesn't know her, but also will call her in the middle of the night to say he wants her. She confesses her feelings for him, mentioning her racing heart, despite the ways he sometimes makes her feel crazy.
Gomez's lyrics in "Round and Round" express the frustration and confusion that can come with being in a relationship that is inconsistent or not equitable. She describes feeling dizzy and like she's going in circles, indicating that the relationship isn't going anywhere, perhaps because of the lies and dishonesty she's experienced. She's aware that he may miss her when she leaves, but at this point, she's had enough.
Overall, the song is about Gomez's struggles with a relationship that goes around and round, but never progresses. She's had enough and is ready to step away from the cycle.
Line by Line Meaning
Round and round
This situation keeps repeating itself over and over again
You see me standing there
I am present and visible to you
And act like you don't know me
You pretend to not recognize me
But last night you were calling me
You reached out to me recently
Saying you want me
Expressing feelings of desire towards me
Oh, why you always make me feel
You consistently cause me to experience
Like I'm the one, that's crazy
As if I am irrational or unstable
You got my heart racin'
You make my heart beat faster
My, my heart racin'
I am feeling intense emotions
Boy, I need you here with me
I desire your presence
We can't go on this way
This situation is not sustainable
I'm fallen hard for you
I have developed strong feelings for you
All I can say
I have no further words to express myself
We're goin' round and round
We are stuck in this cycle of behavior
We'll never get where
There is no end goal in sight
Well you're gonna miss me
You will regret not having me in your life
'Cause I'm getting dizzy
Because this situation is making me feel disoriented
You try to pull me close
You attempt to physically draw me near
And whisper in my ear
You speak softly in close proximity to me
You always told me lies
You are not truthful with me
I've cried out all my tears
I have exhausted my emotional response
I push my feelings to the side
I suppress my emotions
But then you bring 'em back
You reignite my emotional response
Now you got me singing
Now I am expressing myself through music
Love me or love me not
Either accept me unconditionally or not at all
I'm starin' at the clock
I am fixated on the passage of time
I take them flower petals off
I remove the petals of a flower one by one
And then I watch them drop (x2)
As each petal falls, it represents a decision or outcome
Ooo oh Ooo oh Ooo oh (x3)
Vocalization of emotions
