my heart had been broken

and i couldn't take no more

i shuttered up my windows

and i bolted tight my door

then i took one look at you

and i nearly lost my mind



chorus:

now i'm going 'round going 'round

going 'round going around one more time

yes i'm going 'roung going 'round

going 'round goung around one more time



betty was a little heartbreaker

it didn't quite work out

she did a number on my confidence

i was riddled with self doubt

i said that's it i'm through i quit

the juanita she looked so fine.



chorus



'round and 'round in a circle

it's always the same

one moment you swear you've had enough

the next you've got to know her name



all on my own it wasn't that bad

i was getting by as i could get

i stopped into a drug store

for one pack of cigarettes

she did't have a quarter

had to call her cousin kate

and could i lend her maybe

one thin dime



chorus
