Why you going ‘round my heart
Instead of getting in
You circle like a bird
Then fly away again
 
Why are you so afraid
I want to let you in
You're going ‘round my heart
You're going ‘round again
 
You saw me on the dance floor
You stopped to watch me move
I caught you staring at me
And thought now what could this be
 
I felt the air grow warmer
I started trembling
You were moving towards me
Enveloped me completely
 
I closed my eyes
I couldn't breathe
You disappeared
Why did you leave
 
Why you going ‘round my heart
Instead of getting in
You circle like a bird
Then fly away again
 
Why are you so afraid
I want to let you in
You're going ‘round my heart
You're going ‘round again
 
I was at a party
Talking with some friends
People coming, people going
That's when you walked in
 
You know my sister's best friend
Why is the world so small
I asked you why you ran away
You don't want to fall
 
You drove me home
Kissed me goodnight
But will you call
Honey please fight for me
 
Why you going ‘round my heart
Instead of getting in
You circle like a bird
Then fly away again
 
Why are you so afraid
I want to let you in
You're going ‘round my heart
You're going ‘round again
 
There's no denying all this chemistry
The feeling's growing between you and me
We cannot alter fate or change what's real
You can avoid the truth but that won't change the way you feel
 
Why you going ‘round my heart
Instead of getting in
You circle like a bird
Then fly away again
 
Why are you so afraid
I want to let you in
You're going ‘round my heart
You're going ‘round again
 
You're going ‘round my heart
You're going ‘round again
You're going ‘round my heart
You're going ‘round again

Night after night
I played the game
The lonely city
Called my name
 
Buy me a drink
And say I'm fine
Give me a light
And work your line
 
I needed someone to believe in
Now I have your love to see me through
 
You were worth the wait
You lift me out of all this madness
I can't hesitate
I'm comin' straight for your love
 
You were worth the wait
Now I no longer feel the sadness
Cause you were worth the wait babe
You were worth the wait
 
You give me strength
You bring me peace
I crawl inside
This sweet release
 
Baby you were
Hard to find
But I don't care
No I don't mind cause
 
You were worth the wait
You lift me out of all this madness
I can't hesitate
I'm comin' straight for your love
 
You were worth the wait
Now I no longer feel the sadness
Cause you were worth the wait babe
You were worth the wait
 
I needed someone to believe in
Now I have your love to see me through
 
You were worth the wait
You lift me out of all this madness
I can't hesitate
I'm comin' straight for your love
 
You were worth the wait
Now I no longer feel the sadness
Cause you were worth the wait babe
You were worth the wait
 
Worth the wait
I'm comin' straight for your love
 
Worth the wait
I'm comin' straight for your love
 
Worth the wait
I'm comin' straight for your love
