Why was I so naive Every day I fought a losing battle Like getting blood from stone Tell me why I always end up Flying round in circles Oh man I should've known He went unnoticed as he crept back late to bed And I thougt I was going crazy That it was all just in my head That boy from across the street He used to bring me down With the soles of his feet He's got me running around Like a merry-go-round And I'm lonely, lonely, lonely That boy had me under a spell He had me on a string but I could never tell He's got me running around, feeling so down Yes I'm lonely , lonely, lonely Every day he told me I can't believe that you don't even trust me So there I was thinking it must be me Every day he'd point a finger at me Oh man I couldn't believe All of the tricks that he had pulled From out of his sleeve And its clear that he bewitched me When he made a fool out of me That boy from across the street He used to bring me down With the soles of his feet He's got me running around Like a merry-go-round And I'm lonely, lonely, lonely That boy had me under a spell He had me on a string but I could never tell He's got me running around, feeling so down Yes I'm lonely , lonely, lonely His magic's taking over me He's got me under a spell Now I can't break free from his cruelty That boy from across the street He used to bring me down With the soles of his feet He's got me running around Like a merry-go-round And I'm lonely, lonely, lonely That boy had me under a spell He had me on a string but I could never tell He's got me running around, feeling so down Yes I'm lonely , lonely, lonely That boy from across the street He used to bring me down With the soles of his feet He's got me running around Like a merry-go-round And I'm lonely, lonely, lonely That boy had me under a spell He had me on a string but I could never tell He's got me running around, feeling so down Yes I'm lonely , lonely, lonely
