Darling, what are we goin' through ?
It's no secret what I do
Always through revolving doors
Each time's harder than before

What goes around comes around
I'll be with you when I can
I know it's hard to understand
But I am a circular, I am a circular man

Seems I'm gone before I left
Always just one step ahead
For you it's longer, marking time
Lovin' me as I pass by

What goes around comes around
I'll be with you when I can
I know it's hard to understand
But I am a circular, I am a circular man

When daddy's on the doorstep
He won't take you for granted
It's better than the very first time
You can count on me, eventually

Can't make up for the time we've lost
Stolen from myself the most
I keep your picture close to me
Take it out for the boys to see
