The second single off of “Technique”, Round and Round began as one of several songs from the album dealing with New Order lead singer Bernard Sumner’s collapsing marriage. But during the recording of Technique, the song quickly morphed to be about the singer’s growing animosity towards Factory Recor...
[Verse 1]
I just can't help thinking what you've
Done to me (Done to me, done to me, done to me)
You built a wall of love and tore it right down
In front of me
And you think you know what's going on
You keep telling me that I am wrong
I don't care about what you do
'Cause if you mess with me, I'll get rid of you
[Chorus]
The picture you see
Is no portrait of me
It's too real to be shown
To someone I don't know
And it's driving me wild
It makes me act like a child
[Verse 2]
You think I am crazy, but what can
I do? (I do, I do, I do)
You waste your time, like my money, it ain't so funny
But it's true (Don't waste my money, baby)
Now, you can't tell me what's going on
And that I am weak while you are strong
What is it you need that makes your heart bleed?
Do you really know? 'Cause it doesn't show
[Chorus]
The picture you see
Is no portrait of me
It's too real to be shown
To someone I don't know
And it's driving me wild
It makes me act like a child
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Chorus]
The picture you see
Is no portrait of me
It's too real to be shown
To someone I don't know
And it's driving me wild
It makes me act like a child
