Lyrics

[Verse 1]

She's from a world

Of popcorn and candy

Pony rides for a dime

Little children laughing

[Verse 2]

I'm from a world

Of disappointments and confusions

But I want her to be mine

I started talking

She kept on walking

She disappeared into the crowd

[Verse 3]

I lost my heart

On the carousel

To a circus girl

Who left my heart in pieces

Lost my heart

On the carousel

To a circus girl

All of those faces

In love for an instant

To see that the circus came today

Sometimes I can hear the calliope

And I can hear her calling me

[Verse 7]

I lost my heart

On the carousel

To a circus girl

Who left my heart in pieces

Lost my heart

On the carousel

To a circus girl

Who ran away

[Verse 8]

(I lost my heart) Lost my heart

(I lost) On the carousel

(I lost my girl) To a circus girl

Who left my heart in pieces

Lost my heart (Lost my heart)

On the carousel (Lost my girl)

To a circus girl

Who ran away

(I lost) Lost my heart

(I lost my girl) On the carousel

(Ooh) To a circus girl

[Verse 9]

Oh lost, oh lost

I lost

(I lost my heart) Lost my heart

(I lost) On the—
