Lyrics

[Verse 1]
'Round and 'round like a horse on a carousel we go
Will I catch up to love? I could never tell, I know
Chasing after you is like a fairytale, but I
Feel like I'm glued on tight to this carousel
[Verse 2]
Come, come one, come all
You must be this tall
To ride this ride at the carnival
[Verse 3]
Oh, come, take my hand
And run through playland
So high, too high at the carnival
[Verse 4]
And it's all fun and games
'Til somebody falls in love
But you've already bought a ticket
And there's no turning back now
[Verse 5]
'Round and 'round like a horse on a carousel we go
Will I catch up to love? I could never tell, I know
Chasing after you is like a fairytale, but I
Feel like I'm glued on tight to this carousel
[Verse 6]
This horse is too slow
We're always this close
Almost, almost, we're a freakshow
[Verse 7]
Right, right when I'm near
It's like you disappear
Where'd you go? Mr. Houdini, you're a freakshow
[Verse 8]
And it's all fun and games
'Til somebody falls in love
But you've already bought a ticket
And there's no turning back now
[Verse 9]
'Round and 'round like a horse on a carousel we go
Will I catch up to love? I could never tell, I know
Chasing after you is like a fairytale, but I
Feel like I'm glued on tight to this carousel
[Verse 10]
Why did you steal my cotton candy heart?
You threw it in this damn coin slot
And now I'm stuck, I'm stuck
Riding, riding, riding
[Verse 11]
'Round and 'round like a horse on a carousel we go
Will I catch up to love? I could never tell, I know
Chasing after you is like a fairytale, but I
Feel like I'm glued on tight to this carousel
