Spinning around

Spinning around

Ohh

I'm spinning around, move out of my way

I know you're feelin' me 'cause you like it like this

I'm breakin' it down, I'm not the same

I know you're feelin' me 'cause you like it like this

Traded in my sorrows for some joy that I borrowed

From back in the day

Threw away my old clothes, got myself a better wardrobe

I got something to say

I'm through with the past, ain't no point in looking back

The future will be

And did I forget to mention that I found a new direction

And it leads back to me?

I'm spinning around, move out of my way

I know you're feelin' me 'cause you like it like this

I'm breakin' it down, I'm not the same

I know you're feelin' me 'cause you like it

The mistakes I've made, have given me the strength

To really believe

And no matter how I take it, there's no way I'm gonna fake it

'Cuz it's gotta be real

I've got nothin' left to hide, no reason left to fight

'Cuz the truth's given me

A new freedom inside, gettin' rid of my desire

Do you like what you see?

I'm spinning around, move out of my way

I know you're feelin' me 'cause you like it like this

I'm breakin' it down, I'm not the same

I know you're feelin' me 'cause you like it like this

Baby, baby, baby

You know you like it like this

Oh, baby, baby, baby

You know you like it like this

Oh, baby, baby, baby

I'm spinning around, move out of my way

I know you're feelin' me 'cause you like it like this

I'm breakin' it down, I'm not the same

I know you're feelin' me 'cause you like it like this

Feelin' me 'cause you like it like this, oh, I'm not the same

I know you like it like this, oh, ooh yeah

Like it like this, like it like this, I'm not the same

Like it like this, I'm not the same, oh
