Hi-Five

[Intro]

Merry Go Rouuuuund

Ohhhhh

One, two, three
Huh

(Chorus)
Upside down
Round and round
Girl, you've got me riding on your merry-go-round

Upside down
Round and round
Girl, you've got me riding on your merry-go-round

[Verse 1:]
Whenever you walk by
I become so shy
Thinking of a way to catch your eye
When you're in my way
I don't know what to say
I'm so tired of these (games we play)

(Pre-Chorus)
I don't wanna move too soon
But I just can't stand this hangin' on
Why don't you give me a clue?
Girl, you want me and you know I want you

(Chorus)
Upside down
Round and round
Girl, you've got me riding on your merry-go-round

Upside down
Round and round
Girl, you've got me riding on your merry-go-round

[Verse 2:]
Girl I can't deny
The way I feel inside
I just can't seem to get you off my mind
The way you stop and go
You holding back, I know
I think you oughta let your (feelings show)

(Pre-Chorus)
I don't wanna move too soon
But I just can't stand this hangin' on
Why don't you give me a clue?
Girl, you want me and ya know I want you

(Chorus)
Upside down
Round and round
Girl, you've got me riding on your merry-go-round

Upside down
Round and round
Girl, you've got me riding on your merry-go-round

[rap]
A merry-go-round is a ride that will won't you
Up and down, so it feels my heart spins in a circle
I offer my love, but you trample like a stampede
What do I need to succeed
Or shall my heart bleed?
Passionate dreams of your lips as they meet mine
For the first time we caress, it's pure divine
Pleasure exceed, the rendezvous is great
But as the merry-go-round spins around
It's hard (?)

(Pre-Chorus)
I don't move too soon
But I just can't stand this hangin' on
Why don't you give me a clue?
Girl, you want me and you know I want
Youuuuu

(Chorus) x2
Upside down
Round and round
Girl, you've got me riding on your merry-go-round

Upside down
Round and round
Girl, you've got me riding on your merry-go-round

Upside down
Round and round
Girl, you've got me riding on your merry-go-round

Upside down
Round and round
Girl, you've got me riding on your merry-go-round

[brief instrumental]

(Chorus) x4
Upside down
Round and round
Girl, you've got me riding on your merry-go-round

Upside down
Round and round
Girl, you've got me riding on your merry-go-round

Upside down
Round and round
Girl, you've got me riding on your merry-go-round

Upside down
Round and round
Girl, you've got me riding on your merry-go-round

Upside down
Round and round
Girl, you've got me riding on your merry-go-round

Upside down
Round and round
Girl, you've got me riding on your merry-go-round

Upside down
Round and round
Girl, you've got me riding on your merry-go-round

Upside down
Round and round
Girl, you've got me riding on your merry-go-round

Hi-Five is an R&B group from Waco, Texas, originally consisting of lead singer Tony Thompson, Russell Neal, Roderick Clark, Marcus Sanders, and Toriano Easley, who was later replaced by Treston Irby. They released their self-titled debut album in 1990, which peaked at #1 on the Billboard R&B Albums chart and was certified Platinum. This album featured the #1 R&B/Top 10 Pop hit “I Can’t Wait Another Minute,” and “I Just Can’t Handle It,” which peaked at #3 on the R&B Singles chart, as well as their biggest hit, the Teddy Riley-produced “I Like the Way (The Kissing Game),” which hit #1 on both the Billboard Hot 100 and R&B Singles chart.

Their follow-up album Keep It Goin' On was released in 1992 and featured the hit songs “She’s Playing Hard To Get,” which peaked at #2 on the R&B Singles chart and #5 on the Pop chart, as well as the R. Kelly-produced single “Quality Time,” which peaked at #3 on the R&B Singles chart. Their third album Faithful was released in 1993 and contained the hit singles “Unconditional Love” and “Never Should’ve Let You Go”, which were also featured on the soundtracks to Menace II Society and Sister Act 2, respectively.

The group disbanded in 1994 and Tony Thompson went on to release his solo album Sexsational in 1995. Thompson re-formed Hi-Five with four new members and released the album The Return independently in 2005 but he was issued a cease-and-desist order by the original members of the group to halt sales of the album. As discussions of putting the original group back together were taking place, Tony Thompson passed away on June 1, 2007 in his hometown of Waco, Texas. Treston Irby and Marcus Sanders have carried on with the Hi-Five name, continuing to make music and tour.
