How come I end up where I started? How come I end up where I went wrong? Won't take my eyes off the ball again You reel me out then you cut the string How come I end up where I started? How come I end up where I went wrong? I won't take my eyes off the ball again First you reel me out and then you cut the string You used to be alright What happened? Did the cat get your tongue? Did your string come undone? One by one One by one It comes to us all It's as soft as your pillow
