Circle of One

Oleta Adams

I was lookin' the wrong way when you came into my life
Like a story in some fairy tale
And my heart gave a warning and it stopped for a moment
And I thought I would never get well

Was it poison or passion, an action of love
Running away with me, mmm?
I could fight it or hide in your hate and your love
Until you could set me free

I was caught in the middle of a rock and a hard place
And I needed a soft place to fall
Then you showed me the reason to rely on my feelings
I had nothing to fear at all

I'll never go back to that circle of one
That circle of loneliness, yeah
I'll never go back to that circle of one, one

I was looking for some way to escape to a new life
Far away from this merry-go-round
Then you set us in motion with your love and devotion
And I hope that we never come down, oh no

I'll never go back to that circle of one
That circle of loneliness
I'll never go back to that circle of one
That circle of empty emptiness
Baby, I'll never go back to that circle of one
Circle of, circle of, circle of one, ooh

The simple addition of love in my life
The filling of an endless void
It came out of nowhere and stuck like a knife
But it was soothing to be adored, oh

Do ya, do ya, do ya
Do ya, do ya, do

Hey, oh, I'll never go back to that circle of one
That circle of loneliness
I'll never go back to that circle of one
That circle of empty emptiness
Baby, I'll never go back to that circle of one

Never, never goin' back, no
Never, never goin' back, no
I'll never go back to that circle of one
Circle of, circle of, circle of one
