You know he's got to get away
To the merry-go-round and round
Count times that he laid awake at night thinking
Am I going down now?
Am I going down?
Am I going down now?

It's not easy putting on a smile
You're alone, lost and found
She waits at home 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

You know he's got to get away
To the merry-go-round and round
Count times that he laid awake at night thinking
Am I going down now?
Am I going down?
Am I going down now?

Merry-go-round and round
