The lyrics to "You Spin Me Right Round" by Dope is a song about a person who is infatuated with someone they just met. The singer doesn't want to know the person's name or private number; they just know that the other person looks like they're a lot of fun. The singer wants the other person to open up their loving arms because they want some of them.
In the second verse, the singer expresses that they don't want to be just friends with the other person. They want to move closer to them. The chorus repeats twice more with the singer stating that the other person spins them right round like a record.
The song is about lust or infatuation, where the person singing is attracted to someone based only on their looks and not who they are as a person. The phrase "you spin me right round" suggests a spinning motion that might indicate a desire for physical intimacy.
The song was originally released by Dead or Alive in 1984 and has since been covered by several artists, including Dope. The lyrics have been criticized for their lack of depth and objectification of women. In recent years, the song has become a popular dance tune.
