Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Merry-go-round, merry-go-round
[Verse 2]
The sun may shine, and your sadness drifts away
Then the rain comes  and it fills your life with pain
I know sometimes you feel that you can't take no more
But just remember someone's been through your pain before
[Verse 3]
Life is a merry-go-round, one minute your up, one minute your down
One minute your down
Life is a merry-go-round, one minute your up, one minute your down
One minute your down, merry-go-round
[Verse 4]
Sometimes you meet people who fill your life and make you laugh
Then you meet people who break your heart and make you cry
You've got to feel the blues
Come on you've got to take the rough with the smooth
[Verse 5]
Life is a merry-go-round, one minute your up, one minute your down
One minute your down
Life is a merry-go-round, one minute your up, one minute your down
One minute your down, this merry-go-round
This merry-go-round
[Verse 6]
Life is a merry-go-round, one minute your up, one minute your down
One minute your down
Life is a merry-go-round, one minute your up, one minute your down
One minute your down, this merry-go-round
Let's merry-go-round
[Verse 7]
This merry-go-round
