You said that you loved me But it wasn't long till I found That you had me riding A broken down merry go round Sweet kisses you gave me But soon it was all over town That you had me riding A broken down merry go round You told me that you would always be near Love me my dear through sorrow and tears But all I've left is a brass souvenir Instead of a ring made of gold My poor heart is breaking You've made me a fool and a clown Or you had me riding A broken down merry go round
