She reached out and touched my hand And made me dance to some local band But the beat was slow so there we stand As we move in small circles We cut out before the night was through Start my car and we drove the Loop Talked about the things we were going through As we move in small circles We move in small circles She said she didn't know the ways of love I said neither do I, I thought you'd show me some We dilly-dallied like that for six or eight months As we move in small circles A couple of times she stayed with me And we worked it out on a single sheet I can hear every painful squeak As we move in small circles We move in small circles Then she grew up and I grew up And she got tough and I got tough So much for love, so much for love As we move in small circles Now we make money and we're all right And we drive cars and wield our might We make love to people that we don't even like As we move in small circles And I don't even think about her now I just said all this to be working my mouth I wish I cared but I don't know how As we move in small circles We move in small circles
