Since you said that you loved me
like a fool I believed you
I wouldn't want to argue
'cos you know better than me
I'm writing this to tell you
that the world is spinning free
round and round my head it goes
up and down where no one knows
why does it do that to me
why do you allow it to
you're the one that I adore
since you said that you loved me
