You won't say yes
And you won't say no
You let my poor heart pound
But you smile at me
And around I go
On the merry-go-run-around

You build me up
'Til the sky seems low
Then flop
I hit the ground
But you hold my hand
And around I go
On the merry-go-run-around

When a friend says to me
Where the heck are you bound
What the duce can I say
Just around and around and around

You won't say leave
And you won't say whoa
I've tried to get unwound
But you kiss me once
And around I go
On the merry-go-run-around

Oh you won't say yes
And you won't say no
You let my poor heart pound
But you smile at me
And around I go
On the merry-go-run-around

You build me up
'Til the sky seems low
Then flop
I hit the ground
But you hold my hand
And around I go
On the merry-go-run-around

You won't say leave
And you won't say whoa
I've tried to get unwound
But you kiss me once
And around I go
On the merry-go-run-around

I won't say yes
and I won't say no
I let your poor hearts pound
But you smile at me
And around I go
On the merry-go-run-around

You build us up
'Til the sky seems low
Then flop
We hit the ground
But you hold our hand
And around we go
On the merry-go-run-around

When a friend says to me
Where the heck are you bound
What the duce can I say
Just around and around and around

You won't say leave
And you won't say whoa
So I've tried to get unwound
But you kiss me once
And around I go
On the merry-go-run-around
