If I look in his eyes I will see no part of me She will look into mine and wish that she couldn't see Something that reminds her of a picture, a piece of me But his eyes aren't mine no matter what they seem to see She's been stumbling in late after a night in the round No one knows whose lover she has danced with until the dawn As the child is screaming he leaves the house to escape the sound Another night of dancing and others' lovers in the round As the place starts leaving there's the coldest feeling And he doesn't want to answer himself The design was broken He has spoken Can't get no pleasure from what she felt I've got more questions than answers But that don't mean nothing My head starts to lower when I walk out the door She's not my, my lover The round is thinking that he is my son She's not no, I never knew her The man I love I keep down and out I've got no one to believe, in me No one to believe me I keep 'em guessing back at the round I keep the man I love down and out The man I love is down and out
