She's from a world

Of popcorn and candy

Pony rides for a dime

Little children laughing

I'm from a world

Of disappointments and confusions

But I want her to be mine

I started talking

She kept on walking

She disappeared into the crowd, oh-oh

I lost my heart

On the carousel

To a circus girl

Who left my heart in pieces

Lost my heart

On the carousel

To a circus girl

Who ran away

I was the clown

And she was the dancer

We both knew it wouldn't work

But we took our chances

What I can't recall

Is if there was a girl at all

Or was it my imagination?

I still remember

All of those faces

And now all I have is memories

I lost my heart

On the carousel

To a circus girl

Who left my heart in pieces

Lost my heart

On the carousel

To a circus girl

Who ran away

Two different people

In love for an instant

To see that the circus came today

Sometimes I can hear the calliope

And I can hear her calling me

Don't you know?

I lost my heart

On the carousel

To a circus girl

Who left my heart in pieces

Lost my heart

On the carousel

To a circus girl

Who ran away

I lost my heart (Lost my heart)

I lost (On the carousel)

I lost my girl (To a circus girl)

Who left my heart in pieces

(Lost my heart) Lost my heart

(On the carousel) Lost my girl (To a circus girl)

Who ran away

I lost (Lost my heart)

I lost my girl (On the carousel)

Ooh, oh, lost, oh, lost (To a circus girl)

I lost

I lost my heart (Lost my heart)

I lost (On the carousel)

I lost my girl (To a circus girl)
