There was something about you, girl, that haunts me
I found that livin' without you, girl
ain't all it's meant to be
You know I can't be your lover
Some things are painful to discover
It was like a carousel turnin' in my heart


I fell in love with you
And all the things you said
But it was gettin' hard to carry on, my love


It was such a nebulous line that we crossed
That separates basic attraction from love at all cost
Our love was made in heaven
It seemed to be forever and
We rode the carousel with music in our hearts


I fell in love with you
And all the things you said
But it was gettin' hard to carry on
I know I should've babe, I done you wrong, my love


Tryin' everything was something I had to do
All the things I only ever tried once, I tried with you
I'm empty now that you're gone, my love
The spirit is broken, we were into love out in the open
Love's carousel whirled us, 'round and 'round

I fell in love with you
And all the things you said
But it was gettin' hard to carry on
I know I should've babe, I done you wrong, my love
It's best for both of us that I am gone, my love
