She's in a circle
And they've all been with each other
It reminds her of a thing
That she once said to her mother
"You know everyone in the world
Must know each other"
She looks at her man
Her sullen man
"We don't know each other"
She has the means but no
Savings bank dreams to travel
She thought she'd lost it
Got caught up in the gossip of men
Too scared to come out of the closet
Her days do not reflect
They're as cold as her coffee
Her morning dole step
Keeps her close to the beauty of her body
It's that time of night
When old friends who shouldn't
Turn to each other and say
"You know I've always found you so attractive"
And she says "No, no, no
Don't say that to me
Can't you see I'd rather be
With someone outside the circle"
Can't you see I'd rather be
With someone outside the circle
Can't you see I'd rather be
With someone outside the circle
Can't you see I'd rather be
With somebody outside the circle
Can't you see I'd rather be
With someone outside the circle
Can't you see I'd rather be
With someone outside the circle
Can't you see I'd rather be
With someone outside the circle
You gotta live and breathe this easy
Outside the circle
The circle
