Merry Go Round lyrics

Merry, merry, merry go round

I don’t want to see you down

I don’t want to see you frown

Merry go round...

Look...

Summer day

Bobby and this girl would wake up every summer day

This boy and girl had nothing, they were runaways

So in love that now all they wanted was pain and so it came

Never had a silver spoon present in the past

Now at last, the spoon is present and so the boy wet it

Told her bring him a slab, a cotton swab, and a match

And told her one day they’ll fly across the world and have a wedding

Like “baby I have a plan, come with me to this place

Baby give me your hand, now flip it give me a vein

Baby take off your belt, we’ll use it as a restraint”

She sees that it starts to melt, he reaches inside a case

Fills the needle with food, flicks the needle with haste

Brings the needle to her, she isn’t right in the face

The boy can tell that she’s scared, he says “I love you, okay?”

Then shoves it into her arm and says “how the fuck does that taste baby?!”

[Hook:]

Merry, merry, merry go round

I don’t want to see you down

I don’t want to see you frown

Merry go round...

Merry, merry, merry go round

I don’t want to see you down

I don’t want to see you frown

Merry, merry, merry go round

Her dress drops, her head drops

Swiggin’ out of a whiskey bottle, he just watches

But he was not Bobby, see Bobby had joined the army

Been gone for a couple months now she’s messin with everybody

Everyone of the dealers, everyone hears her squealing

Trading pussy for product, she did anything for that feeling

But then she started that feeling, early morning she’s kneelin’

In front of the toilet look at her belly there’s no concealing

That she’s expecting a child

This woman is living foul

She’s only 20 years old

And hardly can even smile

Ultrasound shows a baby that’s barely over a pound

Sold everything in her house just trying to score an ounce

News of her baby’s father was that he died in the war

Now that syringe is all that keeps her alive anymore

No mattress, so her and her child dyin’ on the floor

As a letter’s at the door reading:

“I’ll be home tomorrow. love, Bobby”

[Hook:]

Merry, merry, merry go round

I don’t want to see you down

I don’t want to see you frown

Merry go round...

Merry, merry, merry go round

I don’t want to see you down

I don’t want to see you frown

Merry, merry, merry go round

Knockin’ at the door but doesn’t get an answer

Bobby’s nervous, his heart starts to beat faster

He hasn’t talked to his girl in so long

She sold his phone for a hit, damn how he wish that he could hear her laughter

But his drug hit her like a cancer

And he forgot ‘cause he had left and cleaned his act up

Passenger seat in his Acura got a picture of ‘em kissing

Under the words "happily ever after”

He walks into the house, it’s a fuckin’ disaster

Every step he takes his shoe crushes a capsule

Holds his breath, he knows what he smells isn’t natural

Looks down, it’s the body of the queen of his castle

“Baby please, baby please!!!"

"Wake up!!!”

He screams on his knees and he sees her hands around her stomach

Inside was a child

And realizes it was his…

[gun cock, gun shot]

Summer day,

An entire family died on that summer day

‘cause a facade made a girl give her love away

But those were Bobby’s consequences that he had to pay

Love is pain

[Hook:]

Merry, merry, merry go round

I don’t want to see you down

I don’t want to see you frown

Merry go round...

Merry, merry, merry go round

I don’t want to see you down

I don’t want to see you frown

Merry, merry, merry go round
