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
