Lyric Spinning His Wheels

(Olivia Newton-John /Gary Burr)

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
