The Circle Is Small

It's alright for some, but not alright for me When the one that I'm lovin' slips around You think it's fine to do things I cannot see And you're doin' it to me, baby can't you see that I know how it is I can see it in your eyes and feel it in the way you kiss my lips I can hear it in your voice whenever we are talking like this I can see what you believe in when his name is mentioned and I die I can watch the way you walk, the way you talk, the way you close your eyes It's alright for some, but not alright to be Where the one that I'm lovin' can't be found The city where we live might be quite large But the circle is small, why not tell us all and then all of us will know I can see it in your eyes and feel it in the way you kiss my lips I can hear it in your voice whenever we are talking like this I can see what you believe in when his name is mentioned and I die I can watch the way you walk, the way you talk, the way you close your eyes It's alright to leave, but not alright to lie When you come home and you can't say where you've been You think it's fine to do things I cannot see And you're doin' it to me, baby can't you see that I know how it is I can see it in your eyes and feel it in the way you kiss my lips I can hear it in your voice whenever we are talking like this I can see what you believe in when his name is mentioned and I die I can watch the way you walk, the way you talk, the way you close your eyes I can see it in your eyes and feel it in the way you kiss my lips I can hear it in your voice whenever we are talking like this I can see what you believe in when his name is mentioned and I die --- The Circle Is Small - Gordon Lightfoot
