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.

Come, come one, come all,

You must be this tall

To ride this ride at the carnival.

Oh, come, take my hand

And run through playland

So high, too high at the carnival.

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.

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.

This horse is too slow,

We're always this close,

Almost, almost, we're a freakshow.

Right, right when I'm near,

It's like you disappear,

Where'd you go? mr. houdini, you're a freakshow.

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.

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.

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.

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.
