The cut of my hair, the size of the ring
The dress you should wear, or the dish we should bring
You and I can fight about any old thing, going round and around and around
Plenty of men would lean in my ear
Tell me all the things that I wanna hear
But you're never afraid of being too cavalier
Going round and around and round
See every piece of heaven needs a touch of hell
So we put on our gloves as they start ringing the bell
Sparks fly, long fights
But fighting with my baby is a thing that I like
It keeps me up how you pin me down
Let's go another round
I gotta respect how you take a swing
I try not to deflect when we step in the ring
The birds and the bees still have beaks and a sting
We go around and around and around
Some people say "every boy, every girl,
Should bend every opinion til their edges are swirled,"
But a little disagreement is what helps the whole world
To go round and around and around
A crush can get by on lust and hopes
But the real thing can take a couple rounds on the ropes
Sparks fly, long fights
But fighting with my baby is a thing that I like
It keeps me up how you pin me down
Let's go another round
And when the fights over, we'll lie in our bed
And nurse all of the bruises from the things that we said
It was worth it just to learn what's going on in your head
Going round and around and around
I wanna know your feelings, you don't have to hide
I know that you'll still love me on the other side
We both know it's normal when two people collide
To go 'round, and around, and around, and around, and around
