I got to get up

I got to get off

I got to get on

To the safety zone

My life is filled with too much stress

I have to say, I have many regrets

There's things going on that I don't like

It's time for me to stop

And take control of this fight

My love life is still movin' on the run

My social life is still not the best of fun

My job and promotion is still standin' still

It's like a seesaw up and down

And something's got to give

So I cried, merry, merry

Merry-go-round

Stop the music

And let me get down

Oh, I cried, merry, merry

Merry-go-round

Why don't you stop the music

And let me get down?

I got to get up

I got to get off

I got to get on

To the safety zone

I got caught up on the fast side of life

I was hangin' out and over

Into the deep of night

Being addicted to the real self-abuse

I was on my way to make

A real headline news

My life and health was goin' downhill

Like a seesaw up and down

Something's got to give

So I cried, merry, merry

Oh, merry-go-round

Stop the music

And let me get down

And I said, merry, merry

Oh, merry-go-round

Stop the music

And let me get down

My life and health was goin' downhill

Like a seesaw up and down

You know, something's got to give

'Cause when I cried, I said...

Merry, merry

Oh, merry-go-round

Stop the music

And let me get down

Merry, merry

Oh, merry-go-round

Why don't you stop the music

And let me get down?
