On the Roundabout

[Verse 1]
Can't always see what is coming
Can't always tell what is going
If there is one thing I know
Can't ever start at the end of the road
Can't always eat off a plate that was yours all along
This I know
If there's one thing I know about this life

[Refrain]
Once you get on the roundabout, you ain't on the slide

[Verse 2]
It's hard to laugh when you're crying
Hard to reach for a dollar without losing a dime
This I know
If there's one thing I know about this life

[Refrain]
Once you get on the roundabout, you ain't on the slide
Once you get on the roundabout, hold on
Once you get on the roundabout, hold on

[Interlude]
You better hold on
You ain't on the slide no more
You on the roundabout now, baby
You better hold on
And if you got someone to hold on to
Hey, you better hold 'em tight

[Verse 3]
Can't always see what is coming
Can't always tell what is going
If there's one thing I know
If there's one thing I know about this life

[Refrain]
Once you get on the roundabout, you ain't on the slide
Once you get on the roundabout
Once you get on the roundabout, hold on
Once you get on the roundabout, hold on
Once you get on the roundabout

[Outro]
You better hold on
You ain't on the slide no more
You better hold on
