The first circle comes around
You dont want to leave her side
Youre staying in and dont go out
Youre having such a perfect time
You make your bed and you lie in it
And time is precious every minuteThe next circle comes around
And so domestic you become
You're matching dressing gowns
You think your lifetimes just begun
You cut the cake, but just the one slice
Youre crawling back all through the nightLove circles up above
It waits until your love breaks down and weeps
Then its out of your reach
Love circles up above
It waits for your love down on the floor
Then youre there in its claws
Love circles up above
Love circles up above
Love circles up aboveThe last circle comes around
Youre making plans to fill your days
Youre always wanting to stay out late
And you can feel love start to fade
You fall asleep or read a book
The phone goes back upon the hookLove circles up above
It waits until your love breaks down and weeps
Then its out of your reach
Love circles up above
It waits for your love down on the floor
Then youre there in its claws
Love circles up above
Love circles up above
Love circles up aboveWhen I lay awake at night
And love cant be found
The first circles on my mind
It goes round and round and round and roundLove circles up above
It waits until your love breaks down and weeps
Then its out of your reach
Love circles up above
It waits for your love down on the floor
Then youre there in its clawsLove circles
Love circles
Love circles
Love circles
