Merry Go Round

(album: I'll Give All My Love To You - 1990)

(Merry go round and round)
Ho, ho, no
I'm sick and tired of going 'round
(Merry go round and round)
Why you wanna do this to me, baby
Hey no, 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 playing these games
I feel like I'm on a merry go round
Going 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 that

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, babe

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 doing this same thing over and over again
I feel like I'm on a merry go round
Going round and around and around
And around and around and around

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 that

(Merry go round and round)
Merry yeah yeah
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 nothing
You didn't have to ask for nothing, 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, nothing, baby
(Merry go round and round)
Life is, life is so, so unfair
