LYRICS
[Joy]

All along it was a fever

A cold sweat, hot-headed believer

I threw my hands in the air, said, "Show me something"

She said, “If you dare, come a little closer”

Round and around and around and around we go

Oh now, tell me now, tell me now, tell me now you know

Not really sure how to feel about it

Something in the way you move

Makes me feel like I can't live without you

And it takes me all the way

I want you to stay

[Abby]

It's not much of a life you're living

It's not just something you take, it's given

Round and around and around and around we go

Oh, now tell me now, tell me now, tell me now you know

Not really sure how to feel about it

Something in the way you move

Makes me feel like I can't live without you

And it takes me all the way

And I want you to stay

[All]

Ooh, the reason I hold on

Ooh, 'cause I need this hole gone

Funny you're the broken one

But I'm the only one who needed saving

'Cause when you never see the light

It's hard to know which one of us is caving

[Joy]

Not really sure how to feel about it

Something in the way you move

[All]

Makes me feel like I can't live without you

And it takes me all the way

[Abby]

I want you to stay

Stay

[All]

I want you to stay

[Joy]

Ooh
