Lyrics

I met a little girl today. She was only 7 or 8. She had a scare she couldn't hide. She said she wished her mother would die.

PRE-CHORUS: And I said, your mother and your father love you. They don't know just what to do. When they were little they got slapped too. And it's got to stop.

CHORUS: Round and round and round. This vicious circle. Round and round and round and round

I met a little boy today. And with a toy gun he did play. And with a flick of his hand, he said he wanted to shoot his old man.

PRE-CHORUS: And I said, your mother and your father love you. But they don't know just what to do. When they were little they got hit too. This vicious circle.

CHORUS: Round and round and round. This vicious circle. Round and round and round and round

BRIDGE: So let's think awhile. Don't hurt a child. If you're a man, then don't raise your hand. Let's think a while and don't hurt a child. If you're a man don't raise your hand.

SPOKEN WORDS: You don't have to hurt a child. You don't have to beat a child.

I met a man yesterday. He was only 28. He's got kids of his own now. He beats them every night before he puts them to bed now.

And I said, your mother and your father love you. But they don't know just what to do. When they were little they got beat too. It's got to stop, this vicious circle.
