She has the innocence and vision of a child
How can I ever really know her?
We're riding on a carousel that's running wild
Around in circles 'til it's over

Every time we reach the end
We go 'round and 'round again

(She can't let go)
And I don't wanna tell her no
(She can't let go)
I don't wanna tell her no

I see her starin' out the window at the rain
But she will never leave the fire
Sometimes it burns all night and covers up the pain
Sometimes it only leaves us tired

Every time we reach the end
We go 'round and 'round again, yeah

(She can't let go)
I don't wanna tell her no
(She can't let go)
I don't wanna tell her no

(She can't let go)
I don't wanna tell her no, yeah
(She can't let go)
I just don't wanna tell her no

(She can't let go)
I just don't wanna tell her no
(She can't let go)
(She can't let go)

(She can't let go)
(She can't let go)
(She can't let go)
I just don't wanna tell her no

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
She will never leave the fire
I can't let her go
Yeah she might want to run wild
I don't wanna tell her no
