Small Circles

She reached out and touched my hand
And made me dance to some local band
But the beat was slow so there we stand
As we move in small circles
We cut out before the night was through
Start my car and we drove the Loop
Talked about the things we were going through
As we move in small circles
We move in small circles
She said she didn’t know the ways of love
I said neither do I, I thought you’d show me some
We dilly-dallied like that for six or eight months
As we move in small circles
A couple of times she stayed with me
And we worked it out on a single sheet
I can hear every painful squeak
As we move in small circles
We move in small circles
Then she grew up and I grew up
And she got tough and I got tough
So much for love, so much for love
As we move in small circles
Now we make money and we’re all right
And we drive cars and wield our might
We make love to people that we don’t even like
As we move in small circles
And I don’t even think about her now
I just said all this to be working my mouth
I wish I cared but I don’t know how
As we move in small circles
We move in small circles
