[Chorus 1]
You know he's got to get away
To the merry-go-round and round
Count times that he laid awake at night thinking
Am I going down now?
Am I going down?
Am I going down now?

[Verse]
It's not easy putting on a smile
You're alone, lost and found
She waits at home just to love him through the night thinking
He's been gone so long now
Is he coming home?
He's been gone so long now, ooh

[Chorus 2]
Merry-go-round and round
Merry-go-round and round
Merry-go-round and round
Merry-go-round and round
Merry-go-round and round
Merry-go-round and round
Merry-go-round and round
Merry-go-round and round
Merry-go-round and round
Merry-go-round and round
Merry-go-round and round

[Chorus 1]
You know he's got to get away
To the merry-go-round and round
Count times that he laid awake at night thinking
Am I going down now?
Am I going down?
Am I going down now?

[Chorus 2]
Merry-go-round and round
Merry-go-round and round
Merry-go-round and round
Merry-go-round and round
Merry-go-round and round
Merry-go-round and round
Merry-go-round and round
Merry-go-round and round
Merry-go-round and round
Merry-go-round and round
Merry-go-round and round

[Guitar solo]

[Chorus 2]
Merry-go-round and round
Merry-go-round and round
Merry-go-round and round
Merry-go-round and round
Merry-go-round and round
Merry-go-round and round
Merry-go-round and round
Merry-go-round and round
Merry-go-round and round
Merry-go-round and round
Merry-go-round and round

[Outro]
She waits alone
Just to love him through the night
I'm coming home babe

Mötley Crüe

Mötley Crüe is the symbol of the 1980s rock n roll attitude. Formed in Los Angeles, California on January 17, 1981, the group was founded by bassist Nikki Sixx and drummer Tommy Lee, later joined by Mick Mars on the guitar and Vince Neil on the microphone.

Mötley Crüe has revolutionized the rock scene multiple times and officially introduced the idea of the rock show with fireworks, barely dressed girls and flamethrowers. They sold more than 100 million records worldwide.
