Carousel from ATLANTIS by Sami Grisafe, Shannon Nicole and Jaclyn Rada

Verse 1:

Perfect teeth
Crooked smile
Says she’s been broken for a while
Little crazy
Claims she’s sane
And my patience begins to wane

Bridge 1:

When I say I care about her
She laughs and says she’s flattered
While I lay broken, bruised and shattered

Chorus:

So why do I ride this carrousel
I know damn well that she won’t
Make up her mind anytime soon
But I still try
And pray she might
And that’s a foolish thing to do


Verse 2:

Another promise
Another break
Another lie for old time’s sake
Another sorry
Another drink
Another I need time to think

Bridge 2:

When I say I care about her
She laughs and says she’s flattered
While I lay broken, bruised and shattered



Chorus:

So why do I ride this carrousel
I know damn well that she won’t
Make up her mind anytime soon
But I still try
And pray she might
But that’s a foolish thing

Bridge 3:

I’m a glutton for this punishment
And all the things she really meant to say

Verse 4:

I offer her the world and she says alright
But she don’t feel like kissing me tonight
She reels me in and then she takes flight
Damn I wish confused girls weren’t my type
Oh I wish, Oh I wish
Confused girls were not my type
