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
