The Circle Is Small
Love's Betrayal: Unveiling Secrets in the Small Circle
Lyrics
It's alright for some, but not alright for me
Expressing dissatisfaction with a situation that is acceptable for others but not for the speaker.
When the one that I'm lovin' slips around
Noting the unfaithfulness of the person the speaker loves.
You think it's fine to do things I cannot see
Pointing out deceptive actions and secrecy in the relationship.
And you're doin' it to me, baby can't you see that I know how it is
Conveying awareness of the partner's actions and the emotional impact on the speaker.
I can see it in your eyes and feel it in the way you kiss my lips
Observing emotional distance and lack of sincerity in the partner's eyes and kisses.
I can hear it in your voice whenever we are talking like this
Recognizing insincerity in the partner's voice during conversations.
I can see what you believe in when his name is mentioned and I die
Noting the partner's beliefs or feelings when someone else is mentioned.
I can watch the way you walk, the way you talk, the way you close your eyes
Observing the partner's actions, mannerisms, and expressions.
It's alright for some, but not alright to be
Reiterating the dissatisfaction with a situation where the loved one is absent.
Where the one that I'm lovin' can't be found
Expressing difficulty in finding the loved one in the city where they live.
The city where we live might be quite large
Commenting on the large city but emphasizing the smallness of the social circle.
But the circle is small, why not tell us all and then all of us will know
Suggesting openness and honesty about the situation to everyone involved.
I can see it in your eyes and feel it in the way you kiss my lips
Reiterating observations of emotional distance in the partner's eyes and kisses.
I can hear it in your voice whenever we are talking like this
Noting insincerity in the partner's voice during intimate conversations.
I can see what you believe in when his name is mentioned and I die
Highlighting the partner's beliefs or feelings when someone else is mentioned.
I can watch the way you walk, the way you talk, the way you close your eyes
Observing the partner's physical behaviors and expressions.
It's alright to leave, but not alright to lie
Indicating acceptance of leaving but emphasizing the importance of honesty.
When you come home and you can't say where you've been
Expressing concern when the partner cannot disclose their whereabouts upon returning home.
You think it's fine to do things I cannot see
Reiterating deceptive actions and secrecy in the relationship.
And you're doin' it to me, baby can't you see that I know how it is
Emphasizing the speaker's awareness of the partner's actions and their impact.
I can see it in your eyes and feel it in the way you kiss my lips
Repeating observations of emotional distance in the partner's eyes and kisses.
I can hear it in your voice whenever we are talking like this
Reiterating insincerity in the partner's voice during conversations.
I can see what you believe in when his name is mentioned and I die
Highlighting the partner's beliefs or feelings when someone else is mentioned.
I can watch the way you walk, the way you talk, the way you close your eyes
Observing the partner's physical behaviors and expressions.
I can see it in your eyes and feel it in the way you kiss my lips
Repeating observations of emotional distance in the partner's eyes and kisses.
I can hear it in your voice whenever we are talking like this
Reiterating insincerity in the partner's voice during intimate conversations.
I can see what you believe in when his name is mentioned and I die
Highlighting the partner's beliefs or feelings when someone else is mentioned.
