Round & Round
V Factory Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can't believe it
Here we go again
You're in your corner
But you wanna do me in
And then that bell rings
To let the games begin
You playing dirty and it's just so hard to win
[Pre-Chorus:]
You got my number but you don't call me back
You got my tongue so tied I can't tell where I'm at
Girl what you doing
Don't find it amusing
Stop messing with my head
With you it never ends

[Chorus:]
We can go round and round and round
Baby we can go round and round and round
But damn you tear my heart apart, yeah
We can go round and round and round
But you always end up taking the crown
Cause girl your love it knocks me out

Movin' in circles
While I protect myself
You're throwing punches
And you always aim to hit
Why can't we get along
Is that too much to ask
There was a time when
You and me were good like that

[Pre-Chorus:]





[Chorus x2]

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to V Factory's Round & Round describe a tumultuous relationship that keeps going in circles, with the two partners constantly fighting and trying to one-up each other. The first verse sets the scene for a boxing match, where the bell rings and the game begins. However, instead of a fair fight, one partner (presumably the female) plays dirty, making it hard for the other partner (presumably the male) to find a fair footing. The pre-chorus speaks to the frustration of trying to communicate and connect with this partner - they have the other person's "number", but don't call back or respond in a meaningful way. The singer is left tongue-tied and confused, unable to understand what is happening. The chorus reiterates the vicious circle of the relationship, with the line "we can go round and round and round" becoming a refrain. Although the singer is hurt by this person, he is drawn in by their love and the passion of the relationship.


The second verse of the song expands on the theme of the boxing match, with the partners moving in circles and taking jabs at each other. The singer feels that he needs to protect himself, as the other person is always trying to hit him where it hurts. However, he is also nostalgic for the time when things were easier between them, and wonders why they can't get back to that place. The pre-chorus repeats, emphasizing the confusion and frustration of the singer, while the final chorus brings the song to a close.


Overall, the lyrics of Round & Round are an exploration of a toxic, cyclical relationship that keeps the partners trapped in a pattern of hurt and attraction. The boxing imagery emphasizes the violence and danger of the relationship, while the singer's confusion and longing demonstrate the complexity of the emotions involved.
