How  come you always wind up changing your direction?
How  come you always end up dancing through the room?
How  come you always never wanna use protection?
How  come you're floating like a helium balloon?
I  can't keep up
You're  moving too fast
I  got to know
Is  this gonna last?
Cause  I can't tell  whether
 You're up  or you're down
This  whole situation  is spinning  me round
Spinning  me round
Spinning  me round
 (Repeat Main Riff)
How  come you always end up changing your intentions?
How  come you always wind up blowing hot and cold?
One  minute honest then your full of false pretension
Head  in the clouds but still your desperate to control,  to control
I  just don't know  what  to believe
You  build me up  then you bring me down  on my knees
You  say you want me
 Then your  up and your gone
I  got to know  just where your coming  from
Coming  from,  where you're coming from
I  got to know before its over
One  way or the other
 If your stringing me  along
I  can't keep up
You're  moving too fast
I  got to know
Is  this gonna last?
Cause  I can't tell  whether
 You're up  or you're down
This  whole situation  is spinning  me round
Spinning  me round
Spinning  me round
How  come?
How  come?
How  come you always wind up changing your direction?
