"Circle Is Small, The" by Gordon Lightfoot

Its alright for some, but not alright for me
When the one that Im lovin slips around
You think its fine to do things I cannot see
And youre doin it to me, baby cant you see that I know how
it is
I can see it in your eyes and feel it in the way you kiss my
lips
I can hear it in your voice whenever we are talking like
this
I can see what you believe in when his name is mentioned and
I die
I can watch the way you walk, the way you talk, the way you
close your eyes

Its alright for some, but not alright to be
Where the one that Im lovin cant be found
The city where we live might be quite large
But the circle is small, why not tell us all and then all of
us will know

I can see it in your eyes and feel it in the way you kiss my
lips
I can hear it in your voice whenever we are talking like
this
I can see what you believe in when his name is mentioned and
I die
I can watch the way you walk, the way you talk, the way you
close your eyes

Its alright to leave, but not alright to lie
When you come home and you cant say where youve been
You think its fine to do things I cannot see
And youre doin it to me, baby cant you see that I know how
it is

I can see it in your eyes and feel it in the way you kiss my
lips
I can hear it in your voice whenever we are talking like
this
I can see what you believe in when his name is mentioned and
I die
I can watch the way you walk, the way you talk, the way you
close your eyes
