[Verse 1]
Mary, Claire, Denise, and Belle
Best friends as far as I could tell
Cheerleaders except for Denise
She was the wild one
She was the beast
She was the one who named the group
"The Original Gang of Four"
Mary, Claire, Denise, and Belle
Circle of amour

[Verse 2]
Tenth grade, Central in September
That was a year I remember
On this chilly cold afternoon
I overheard the gang in the locker room
Rendezvous, Mary's house
Dirty words and wine
Needless rot say they all spend the day
Just counting time, counting time
Halfway through her history class
Denise she kindly raised her hand and asked
If she could be excused
("Can I be excused?")
Then she ran from school (Ran from school) in a hurry
The other girls, ooh they knew
This is what friends are really for
Mary, Claire, Denise, and Belle
Circle of amour
[Verse 3]
Circle of amour
Imagination showed a window
(Imagination)
On a cold September day
(Ooh)
Leaves are brown
(Brown)
Passion sounds
(Ooh)
Memories seldom stray
Four hands in the place where the V connect
Gang of four, circle of sex
In the vicious race to maturity
They almost faint from ecstasy
Sweat upon the necks of dames
No loser in this circle game
Because the memories are worth so much more
(So much more)
Mary, Claire, Denise, and Belle
Circle of amour

[Outro]
(Ooh)
Mary, Claire, Denise, and Belle
Mary, Claire, Denise, and Belle
Circle of amour
Mary, Claire, Denise, and Belle
Mary, Claire, Denise, and Belle
Circle of amour
Circle of amour
