What ya gonna do, what ya gonna say
Where ya gonna go?
(When it's over?)
How ya gonna feel when ya have to deal
With the real?
(In the world?)
What ya gonna do, what ya gonna say
Where ya gonna go?
(When it's through?)
How ya gonna feel when ya have to deal
With the real?
(Can you tell me?)
'Cause I, I want to know
Why we keep on playing in circles
Why can't we keep it movin' along?
[Chorus]
Round and round we go
Where we stop, nobody knows
Up and down on a merry-go-round
Round and round we go
Riding fast or making it slow
Take a chance on the merry-go-roung
1, 2, 3, who's it gonna be
When ya count it down?
(Is it over?)
How ya gonna go when you want to
Why ya want to play?
(With me?)
What's it gonna be, who is really free
When you're runnin'?
(In the world?)
How ya gonna go when ya want to stay
Why ya want to play?
(Can you tell me?)
'Cause I, I want to know
If it's for real, the way that we feel
Why don't we turn around and stop letting go?
[Chorus]
What ya gonna do, what ya gonna say
What ya gonna do?
(We gotta take a chance, we gotta take a chance)
What ya gonna do?
'Cause I, I want to know
Why we keep on playing in circles
Alone?
And I, I want to know
If it's for real, the way that we feel
Why don't we turn around and stop letting go?
[Repeat Chorus]
