[Verse 1 : Neneh Cherry, Michael Stipe]
You can find some time to be someone like a valentine for a lonely soul
You can treat me like a fool and hate-
Some love brings me down
Some love turns me round and round and round and round
And round and round and round

Is it something that I said? Is it something that I did?
Is it something that I, that I got in my head?
Laying in my bed is so real cuz I know what I feel
But together we stand and together we lay
Hey listen to the voice of experience
This is how I live tomorrow and today
Listen to the voice of experience; that’s how I live
Stop the beat, listen to the melody
Round and round and round and round

Huh, yeah I know when I got the feeling
A feeling of love knocking on my door
First there was fifty and then there was more
What a bore then there was none
Now there's one cause I'm a lucky one
Feelings of love, I've got feelings of affection
Come on and give it to me
Give it with protection
There's no time we're out of luck
The law says we can't talk about a, huh
[Chorus: Michael Stipe]
Round and round and round
Round and round and round
Round and round and round
Round and round and round
Round and round and round

[Verse 2: Neneh Cherry, Michael Stipe]
But I need some S-E-X-E-D-U-C-A-T-I-O-N, yeah
Sex education for the people y'all

Parents and teachers get together get cool
Children need to learn about sex in school
Children need to learn about sex in school
You think they don't do it? Don't get fooled
Parents don't turn your back on the pack
Teachers want to teach but the law says whack
Don't let your kid get caught without a jimmy hat
And that's just the start; Take it to the heart of the matter
Talk about it, talk about it

Sister sister, kissing by the tree
Ripe right for picking something sweet
Brother brother what's it gonna be
K-I-S-S-I-N-G
Teacher, teacher, teacher teach us S-E-X
Teach it to us stupid without the FX
Teacher teach us with your ABCs
Rollin' on the alphabet I'm gonna get to Z
[Chorus: Michael Stipe]
Round and round and round
Round and round and round
Round and round and round
Round and round and round
Round and round and round
