(Merry go round and round)

Ho, ho, no

I'm sick and tired of goin' ‘round

(Merry go round and round)

Why you wanna do this to me, baby

Heyno, no, no, no, no, no, no, no



It must feel good to you, baby

To hurt me over and over again, yeah, baby

And it must feel good to you, baby

To see me cry, yeah, girl



You say you will, you say you won't

Baby, why don't you make up your mind

You say you do, you say you don't

Baby, baby, please be kind



You love me now, and then you don't

Baby, why do you keep playin' these games

I feel like I'm on a merry go round

Goin' round and round and round and round and round



(Merry go round and round)

(Merry go round and round)

(Merry go round and round)

Round and round and round and round I go, baby

Where I'm gonna stop, baby, only you know



Didn't I give you everything, baby

You ever wanted, girl, yes, I did

And all I ever wanted to do, baby

Is satisfy your world, yeah, yeah, baby, baby



I gave you this, I gave you that

But it didn't mean anything

When you love someone right

You don't expect them to do you wrong, baby, baby, babe



Why did I do to deserve this pain, girl

You just keep doin' this same thing over and over again

I feel like I'm on a merry go round

Goin' round and around and around and around and around and around



(Merry go round and round)

(Merry go round and round)

(Merry go round and round) Merry go round, baby

Round and round and round and round I go, baby

Where I'm gonna stop, baby, only you know



(Merry go round and round) Merry, merry go round

(Merry go round and round) I just can't understand it, baby

(Merry go round and round)

Why do you wanna treat me like you do, girl, I don't know, baby

(Merry go round and round) Everything you wanted I always gave you, girl

(Merry go round and round) You didn't have to want for nothin'

You didn't have to ask for nothin', baby

(Merry go round and round) I tried to be the best that I could be, baby

(Merry go round and round) And now you treat me like I'm nobody, nothin', baby

(Merry go round and round) Life is, life is so, so unfair



If you wanna play, circus, girl, I don't wanna be your clown, girl

(Merry go round and round) No, n-no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, baby

I don't want the sideshow to begin, ‘cause I don't want you to let me in

(Merry go round and round)

Baby, sometimes people don't understand what they have

Until it's gone

Some people don't know somebody loves them until it's too late, baby

You better, you better wake up, girl, and realize what you got, babe

You better understand that, you better understand that you're my woman

I'm your man, babe

I want only you, baby



(Merry go round and round)

And I'll do anything you want me to do, babe, oh, yes, I will, babe

All you gotta do is ask me, baby, baby, baby

If you're good to me

(Merry go round and round)

Then I know I'll be good to you if you love me, baby, yeah

Then I'll surely, surely, surely love you, baby, baby, babe



Understand what I feel

You've got to understand, my love is so real

Oh, baby (Merry go round and round), oh, oh, baby, baby

Oh, baby, baby (Merry go round and round)

Darlin', darlin', darlin', oh, sugar, babe

Darlin', baby, baby, baby (Merry go round and round)

Oh, round (Merry go round and round), babe

(Merry go round and round)

Oh, you got to let me know, baby, if I'm wastin' my time

(Merry go round and round) If I am, baby, if I am, baby, if I am, baby

Then I'll leave you alone, girl, yes, I will

(Merry go round and round)

Merry go round and round and round and round and round
