I have tried in vain never had success 
so it seems my life is nothing but a mess 
I have lost my only friend 
now it seems I have to start again 

Merry-go-round 
where am I bound 
with my love and feelings 
merry-go-round 
who wants to kiss me 
and hug me and miss me 
yes, who wants to do it 
I wish that I knew it 
merry-go-round 
wish I had found 
somebody to care for 
where am I bound 
life is so lonely 
if life is just only 
to love with my loving 
goes ’round and ’round 

Looking for someone who would want to stay 
I might find her with a bit of luck one day 
but who knows so until then 
I can only try and try again 

Merry-go-round 
where am I bound 
with my love and feelings 
merry-go-round 
who wants to kiss me 
and hug me and miss me 
yes, who wants to do it 
I wish that I knew it 
merry-go-round 
wish I had found 
somebody to care for 
where am I bound 
life is so lonely 
if life is just only 
to love with my loving 
goes ’round and ’round
