I have tried in vain never had success
  So it seems my life is nothing but a mess
  I have lost my only friend
  Now it seems I have to start again
    Merry-go-round
  Where am I bound
  With my love and feelings
  Merry-go-round
  Who wants to kiss me
  And hug me and miss me
  Yes, who wants to do it
  I wish that I knew it
  Merry-go-round
  Wish I had found
  Somebody to care for
  Where am I bound
  Life is so lonely
  If life is just only
  To love with my loving
  Goes round and round
    Looking for someone
  Who would want to stay
  I might find her
  With a bit of luck one day
  But who knows
  So until then
  I can only try and try again
    Merry-go-round
  Where am I bound
  With my love and feelings
  Merry-go-round
  Who wants to kiss me
  And hug me and miss me
  Yes, who wants to do it
  I wish that I knew it
  Merry-go-round
  Wish I had found
  Somebody to care for
  Where am I bound
  Life is so lonely
  If life is just only
  To love with my loving
  Goes round and round
    Merry-go-round
  Where am I bound
  With my love and feelings
  Merry-go-round
  Who wants to kiss me
  And hug me and miss me
  Yes, who wants to do it
  I wish that I knew it
  Merry-go-round
  Wish I had found
  Somebody to care for
  Where am I bound
  Life is so lonely
  If life is just only
  To love with my loving
  Goes round and round
