Lyrics

Game Size

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.
