[1]
You know he's gotta get away
To the merry-go-round and round

Count times that he laid awake
At night thinkin'
Am I goin' down now

Am I goin' down
Am I goin' down now, oh!


[2]
It's not easy puttin' on a smile
You're alone, lost and found

She waits at home just to love him
Through the night thinkin'
He's been gone so long now

Is he coming home
He's been gone so long now, oh!


[Chorus]
Merry-go-round and round [repeat]
[1]

[Chorus]
[Chorus]


She waits alone
Just to love him through the night
I'm coming home babe
