Spinning His Wheels — Olivia Newton-john

He didn't get home until ten He was still hard at work even then He didn't notice the change in her hair Or the candles that burned everywhere

She went off to bed all alone He didn't notice she'd gone And it takes all her strength to hang on

She's on the edge of the circle watching him spin around They can't reach each other until he slows down They can't find the center, how lonely that feels She's stuck in a heartache, he's spinning his wheels

He crawls into bed after two With a head full of things he should do And he makes it quite clear with his kiss She's no longer on top of his list

There are times when she can't feel his love So she remembers the way that it was And she'll hold on tight till he does

She's on the edge of the circle watching him spin around They can't reach each other until he slows down They can't find the center, how lonely that feels She's stuck in a heartache, he's spinning his wheels

Oh, he's on the rise to the top She won't ask him to stop Just please don't forget her

Oh, he's so blinded by pride She'd be right by his side If he would just let her

They can't find the center, how lonely that feels She's stuck in a heartache, he's spinning his wheels

She's stuck in a heartache, he's spinning his wheels
