You've got to tell me what you want Just say the word and I'll be gone You keep expecting me to read your mind, but I don't know what's going on And even if I did I wouldn't give you the pleasure Stop spinning me in circles You're playing roulette with my heart (I'm spinning round) Stop spinning me in circles Don't break my heart You know I could never live without you Stop spinning me in circles You're playing roulette with my heart (I'm spinning round) Stop spinning me in circles Don't break my heart You know I could never live without you Stop spinning me in circles You're playing roulette with my heart (I'm spinning round) Stop spinning me in circles Don't break my heart You know I just want to be with you
Long Version
The strangest girl I've ever known How did you get this heart of stone? There's only so much I can tolerate, now every time I get the phone I hear that other voice... another piece in the puzzle You've got to tell me what you want Just say the word and I'll be gone You keep expecting me to read your mind, but I don't know what's going on And even if I did I wouldn't give you the pleasure ★Stop spinning me in circles You're playing roulette with my heart (I'm spinning round) Stop spinning me in circles Don't break my heart★ You know I could never live without you You tell me I'm the only one Next thing I know you've up and gone I should expect it after all this time But I don't want to jump the gun You're way of love's a crime and it will come back haunt you You never think of tomorrow, tomorrow You never save a penny up for a rainy day You spend your time just causing me sorrow You're so full of bad karma It's like a wall building up around you Stop spinning me in circles You're playing roulette with my heart Stop spinning me in circles Don't break my heart You know I could never live without you ★････★ repeat You know I just want to be with you |

Song Production Information
Toshio Sakurai
As for DM, everyone writes songs that make them feel good. They must be enjoying themselves. That's why I also wanted to write a song with a slightly slower tempo. But I got anxious and sped it up in the middle. The intro guitar is Beatles-like. The faster rhythms in the middle of the song are a deadly Diana Ross & the Supremes pattern. Thomas particularly likes this song, and he's been nagging me to make it a single cut, haha.
