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 till 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 deuce 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
