(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
