You know he's gotta get away   To the merry-go-round and round   Count the times that he laid awake at night thinkin'   Am I going down now?   Am I going down?   Am I going down now? Ooh      It's not easy putting on a smile   You're alone, lost and found   She waits home alone just to love him through the night, thinking   He's been gone so long now   Is he coming home?   He's been gone so long now, ooh      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   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      You know he's gotta get away   To the merry-go-round and round   Count the times that he laid awake at night thinking   Am I going down now?   Am I going down?   Am I going down now? Ooh      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   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   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   Merry-go-round and round   Merry-go-round and round      Waits home alone   Just to love him through the night   I'm coming home babe
