Oleta Adams

Circle of One

I was lookin' the wrong way when you came into my life

Like a story in some fairy tale

And my heart gave a warning and it stopped for a moment

And I thought I would never get well

Was it poison or passion, an action of love

Running away with me, mmm?

I could fight it or hide in your hate and your love

Until you could set me free

I was caught in the middle of a rock and a hard place

And I needed a soft place to fall

Then you showed me the reason to rely on my feelings

I had nothing to fear at all

I'll never go back to that circle of one

That circle of loneliness, yeah

I'll never go back to that circle of one, one

I was looking for some way to escape to a new life

Far away from this merry-go-round

Then you set us in motion with your love and devotion

And I hope that we never come down, oh no

I'll never go back to that circle of one

That circle of loneliness

I'll never go back to that circle of one

That circle of empty emptiness

Baby, I'll never go back to that circle of one

Circle of, circle of, circle of one, ooh

The simple addition of love in my life

The filling of an endless void

It came out of nowhere and stuck like a knife

But it was soothing to be adored, oh

Do ya, do ya, do ya

Do ya, do ya, do

Hey, oh, I'll never go back to that circle of one

That circle of loneliness

I'll never go back to that circle of one

That circle of empty emptiness

Baby, I'll never go back to that circle of one

Never, never goin' back, no

Never, never goin' back, no

I'll never go back to that circle of one

Circle of, circle of, circle of one
