BACK AT SQUARE ONE

IT'S NOT THE FIRST TIME I FOUND MYSELF
BACK AT SQUARE ONE,
ANOTHER LOVE OF MY LIFE IS OVER AND DONE.
THERE'S A LESSON I CAN'T SEEM TO LEARN,
'CAUSE NO MATTER WHICH WAY I TURN,
I'M ALWAYS RUNNIN' IN CIRCLES,
WINDING UP, BACK AT SQUARE ONE.

SOME PEOPLE KNOW IT BY INSTINCT,
SOME DON'T SEE IT AT ALL.
EVERYTIME I THINK I'M CHASING TRUE LOVE,
I SLAM RIGHT INTO A WALL.
I KEEP PRAYING I'LL FIND THE ANSWER,
AND GIVE UP THIS DEAD END ROUTINE.
I COULD GET USED TO, NOT HAVIN' TO DEAL WITH
WHAT STARTING ALL OVER CAN MEAN.

(CHORUS)

SOMETIMES YOU THINK THAT IT'S PERFECT,
SOMEHOW IT FALLS APART.
EVEN WHEN I'M SURE I'VE GOT THE REAL THING,
I FIND OUT I'M NOT SO SMART.
AND THE MAGIC IN THE BEGINNING
IS LOST IN THE GIVE AND THE TAKE,
SOMEHOW I END UP, LEARNING TO LIVE WITH
EVERY MISTAKE I CAN MAKE.

(CHORUS)

BY NOW YOU THINK I'D BE ABLE
TO SPOT IT A MILE AWAY.
AND NOT TO GIVE INTO, THE SLIGHTEST TEMPTATION
THAT'S TRYING TO LEAD ME ASTRAY.

IT'S NOT THE FIRST TIME I FOUND MYSELF
BACK AT SQUARE ONE,
ANOTHER LOVE OF MY LIFE IS OVER AND DONE.
THERE'S A LESSON I CAN'T SEEM TO LEARN,
'CAUSE NO MATTER WHICH WAY I TURN,
I'M ALWAYS RUNNING IN CIRCLES
WINDING UP, BACK AT SQUARE ONE.
