(Writer: Jesse Winchester)

It's true, you've got me going, 'round in circles
You keep me so darned dizzy, I could cry
But every time you hurt me, I grow a little stronger
I'll soon be strong enough to say goodbye.

It will be so good to smile
Gee, it's been a long, long while
After all that I've been through
Just 'cause I'm in love with you.
But there will come a day, you'll see
You won't have control of me
You can't hurt me like you do
Just 'cause I'm in love with you.

--- Instrumental ---

I'll ask, whatever saint looks after lovers
I'll ask, would you please look after me
And would you kindly hear my prayer,
And have a little mercy?
Please, if she doesn't love me, set me free.

It will be so good to smile
Gee, it's been a long, long while
After all that I've been through
Just 'cause I'm in love with you
But there will come a day, you'll see
You won't have control of me
You can't hurt me like you do
Just 'cause I'm in love with you...
