You can take me to the paradise
And then again you can be cold as ice
I'm over my head
Oh, but it sure feels nice

You can take me anytime you like
I'll be around if you think you might
Love me, baby
And hold me tight

Your mood is like a circus wheel
You're changing all the time
Sometimes I can't help but feel
That I'm wasting all of my time

Your mood is like a circus wheel
You're changing all the time
Sometimes I can't help but feel
That I'm wasting all of my time

I think, I'm looking on the dark side
But everyday you hurt my pride
I'm over my head
Oh, but it sure feels nice

I'm over my head
But it sure feels nice
I'm over my head
But it sure feels nice

Fleetwood Mac

Fleetwood Mac are a British-American rock band formed in 1967 in London. Due to numerous line-up changes, the only original member present in the band is its eponymous drummer, Mick Fleetwood. Despite band founder Peter Green naming the group by combining the surnames of two of his former bandmates (Fleetwood, McVie) from John Mayall's Bluesbreakers, bassist John McVie played neither on their first single nor at their first concerts. The keyboardist, Christine McVie, who joined the band in 1970 while married to John McVie, appeared on all but two albums, either as a member or as a session musician. She also supplied the artwork for the album Kiln House. more »
