Everybody knows that the world is round
& what goes up has to come back down
Well I wonder what everybody would do
If the opposite were only true

If the world was square & they also found
That what went up never did come down
It would be too good, just too good to be true
'Cause then you'd love me & I wouldn't love you

You'd be the one to make for a date
& I'd be the one to show up late
You'd be the one to cry every night
& that would really serve you right

(x2):
But the world is round, it's so very round
& what goes up has to come back down
So until the day that the opposite's true
There is really nothin' I can do
Except to go on lovin' you

(repeat & fade):
Except to go on lovin' you
