There was no piano in gym class
As you ran so hard and fast
Throwing footballs in the grass
Don't tell me I'm lucky
Had your eye on girls and money
I had mine on something that would last
This roundabout got my wheels turning
You're down and out
I'm still here working
You got my wheels turning
Way back when ya
Were too cool for Grissom
In high school
I'd pretend ya were the fool that you are now
You had the ladies
Now you have bastard babies
I'm still doing the same thing
Round and round
This roundabout got my wheels turning
You're down and out
I'm still here working
And round and round till my gears are burning
I'll take a bow
It appears that I'm not worthless
You got my wheels turning
I don't have pity on you now
That you're not pretty
Oh, this song has been with me all along
Did you miss me?
Don't tell me I'm born with it
You don't know how hard that I work for this
While you're down and out lying on the ground
I'll catch you on the other side, round and round
Pride is illusive
By the wayside, we're both losing
Round and round, round and round
Got my wheels turning
Don't tell me you're hurting
You can't see beyond the surface
Oh my wheels are turning
Oh my wheels are turning, turning
This roundabout got my wheels turning
You're down and out
I'm still here working
And round and round till my gears are burning
I'll take a bow
It appears that I'm not worthless
You got my wheels turning
