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
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
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
(Baby go round) She wants what she wants
(Baby go round) Aw pick up, pick up the pieces
Oh-ooh..., pick up the pieces...
