[Verse 1]
You know he's got to get away
To the merry-go-round and round
Count the times that she laid awake at night, thinkin’
Am I going down now?
Am I going down?
Am I going down now?

[Verse 2]
It's not easy puttin' on a smile
You’re alone, lost and found
She waits at home just to love him through the night, thinkin'
He's been gone too long now
Is he comin' home?
He's been gone too long now, ooh

[Chorus]
Merry-go-round and round
Merry-go-round and round
Merry-go-round and round
Merry-go-round and round
Merry-go-round and round
Merry-go-round and round, come on
Merry-go-round and round
Merry-go-round and round
Merry-go-round and round
Merry-go-round and round, hey
Merry-go-round and round
[Verse 1]
You know he's got to get away
To the merry-go-round and round
I count the times that she laid awakе at night, oh thinkin'
He's been gone too long now
Is he comin’ homе?
Been gone too long now

[Chorus 2]
Merry-go-round and round
Merry-go-round and round
Merry-go-round and round
Merry-go-round and round
Merry-go-round and round
Merry-go-round and round, oh-oh
Merry-go-round and round
Merry-go-round and round
Merry-go-round and round
Merry-go-round and round, yeah
Merry-go-round and round, oh

[Guitar solo]
Oh
Yeah-yeah
Oh
[Chorus]
Well merry-go-round and round
Merry-go-round and round
Merry-go-round and round
Merry-go-round and round and around
Merry-go-round and round
Merry-go-round and round
Merry-go-round and round
Merry-go-round and round, uh-huh
Merry-go-round and round

[Outro]
She waits home alone
Just to love him through the night
Ooh-ooh
