About Circles

In a track-by-track commentary with AOL Music in 2005, Mariah said: “Circles” is a song that I wrote with Big Jim Wright, who’s an incredible musician. He works with Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis. He also does outside projects like Sounds of Blackness and a lot of different gospel things. He’s just very talented. Basically we were going for an old school vibe. It’s all live musicians. I feel like it has that organic kind of feel. We were going .

Circles Lyrics

[00:04.66] Ever since you left me
[00:06.25] I've been trying to hide the pain
[00:09.15] Painting on a smile with lipstick
[00:12.08] Putting on a big charade
[00:14.48] So difficult to keep pretending
[00:17.65] It's getting harder everyday
[00:20.88] It's plain to see I'm cold and arctic
[00:23.87] Since you turned and walked away
[00:27.08] I just keep going round and round
[00:31.24] And round in circles
[00:34.24] Keep on tumbling down
[00:38.28] Oh boy my world has changed
[00:48.07] And I don't think I can make it without you
[00:52.83] Nothing's the same
[00:58.48] You got me running around in circles over you
[01:04.83] (Running around in circles over you)
[01:09.67] Saturday I saw you
[01:10.70] Holding hands with someone new
[01:13.47] Somehow I kept my composure
[01:16.84] Just like everything was cool
[01:19.57] But inside I kept repeating
[01:22.26] Don't you let them see you cry
[01:25.61] So I casually turned my head
[01:28.69] As the tears rolled down my eyes
[01:31.03] I just keep going round and round
[01:35.82] And round in circles
[01:38.78] Keep on tumbling down
[01:42.22] Ooh boy my world has changed
[01:51.44] And I don't think I can make it without you
[01:57.64] Nothing's the same
[02:03.73] You got me running around in circles over you
[02:08.89] Everything is you
[02:10.10] How can I pull through
[02:14.69] My heart is consumed I'm so confused
[02:20.97] Still caught up in you... love can be so cruel
[02:23.37] Baby don't know how to turn you loose
[02:29.73] Ooh boy my world has changed
[02:39.04] And I don't think I can make it without you
[02:42.54] No, nothing's the same
[02:51.03] You got me running around
[02:52.68] And running around
[02:54.09] And running around
[02:56.90] Nothing's the same
[03:01.74] Baby baby 'cause you
[03:02.70] Got me running around
[03:04.18] In circles over you
[03:10.76] (Running around in circles over you)
[03:16.18]
