She could be young an' foolish She could be old an' wise But love is dangerous.. When the heart is blind Became a girl of eighteen Goin' on forty-five... The man'd get fired up An' then he' strike her down An' baby shut her mouth now Nobody hear the sound Still got her pride made up her mind No turnin' around... The only sound he'll hear tonight Her footsteps out the door (Chorus:) Baby go round an' round an' round Pick up the pieces when it all comes down Life gets better than it is right now Baby go round Hush little baby, she don't cry Come here alone and alone you die A heart can break but love survives Baby go round an' round an' round an' round
She got a brand new feelin' Put on a brand new face An' sorry has no meanin' In 'er bran' new place There's a time for forgiveness And a time when it's too late... It's much too late The only sound she'll hear tonight His knockin' at her door (Chorus) Baby go round an' round an' round Pick up the pieces when it all comes down Life gets better than it is right now (Baby go round), an' round an' round an' round She wants, what she.. wants (Chorus) (Baby go round) She wants what she wants (Baby go round) Aw pick up, pick up the pieces Oh-ooh..., pick up the pieces......
