[Intro]
Oh yeah
Round and round and round
Round, round
Yeah, yeah, yeah, ooh yeah

[Verse 1]
Can you tell me where we're going to?
Can you tell me what it is we really want to find
Is the truth really there?
Or is it right under our hair?
For all we know
It's been there all the time

[Chorus]
I say
Nothing comes from dreamers but dreams
I say
Sitting idle in our boat
While everyone else is down the stream

Nothing comes from talkers but sound
We can talk all we want to
But the world still goes around and round

Round and round
We go round and round and round
And what we're looking for still isn't found

I say
Nothing comes from dreamers but dreams
I say
Sitting idle in our boat
While everyone else is down the stream

Nothing comes from talkers but sound
We can talk all we want to
But the world still goes around and round

Round and round
We go round and round and round
And what we're looking for still isn't found

[Verse 2]
Can you tell me when we gonna get to it
I'm tired of fooling around
I said I want to do it
I learned my lesson young

I say
If you really want to have fun
Go for it and when you win
Say "I go for it"

[Interlude]
One day
I'll make it in the big city
And I'll be looking for a girl who's pretty

One day
I'll make a play and she will say ok
'Cuz I plan to be a cool kitty

[Chorus]
I say
Nothing comes from dreamers but dreams
I say
Sitting idle in our boat
While everyone else is down the stream

Nothing comes from talkers but sound
We can talk all we want to
But the world still goes around and round

Round and round
We go round and round and round
And what we're looking for still isn't found

Tevin Campbell

Tevin Campbell is a Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter that got his career started with two big names in music—first working with Quincy Jones in 1989 on “Tomorrow (A Better You, Better Me)” from the album Back on the Block and then working with Prince on “Round and Round” from the Graffiti Bridge soundtrack in 1990.

His debut album T.E.V.I.N. was released on November 19, 1991 and features the #1 R&B hits “Tell Me What You Want Me To Do” and “Alone With You,” which helped the album go platinum and earn Tevin a Grammy nomination for Best Male R&B Vocal Performance. His next album I’m Ready was released on October 26, 1993 and featured the Babyface-produced hits “Can We Talk” and “I’m Ready.” This album went double platinum and led to three more Grammy nominations for Best Male R&B Vocal Performance for “Can We Talk,” Best Male R&B Vocal Performance for “I’m Ready,” and Best R&B Album.

Tevin’s third album Back to the World was released on June 25, 1996 and he followed that up with the release of a self-titled album on February 23, 1999. He appeared in the Broadway musical Hairspray in 2005 and after some guest appearances on various shows throughout the years, he released the song “Safer on the Ground” in 2016.
