Conor Maynard Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You always put me in this place, no
Holding on, I can't let go, here we go again
The dream is over I'm awake
Dizzy, I can't take it, can we make it stop? now
Mary, Mary go around
Why you playing me, turn me upside down
While you go round and round and round
(Round and round and round and round ooh)
Am I your lover or your friend? whoa
Will this circle ever end? oh
Promises that lead to tears or I keep coming back, baby
Here we go again, again.
Dizzy I can't take it, can we make it stop? now
Mary, Mary go around
Why you playing me, turn me upside down
Mary, let me hit the ground, get me off of ya
While you go round and round
Mary, Mary go around
Why you playing me, turn me upside down
Mary, let me hit the ground, get me off of ya
While you go round and round and round
Go play with someone else
I'm getting off this ride right now
Someday you're gonna want me back but I wont come back, no no
Go play with someone else
I'm getting off this ride right now
Someday you're gonna want me back but I wont come back, no no
Oh whoa yeah
Not coming back no
Mary, Mary go around
Why you playing me, turn me upside down
Mary, let me hit the ground, get me off of ya
While you go round and round
Mary, Mary go around
Why you playing me, turn me upside down
Mary, let me hit the ground, get me off of ya
While you go round and round
In "Mary Go Round," Conor Maynard talks about a relationship that is up and down, just like a merry-go-round. He feels like he's being played and taken for a ride by this girl, who he cannot seem to let go of. He's confused about the nature of their relationship, whether they are just friends or actually in love. The lyrics suggest that he's tired of the cycle they are going through but still finds it hard to break free. He's left dizzy and disoriented by the ups and downs of the relationship and wishes that it would stop so that he can get off the ride. The chorus emphasizes the theme of the merry-go-round with Mary's name, which is also a reference to the nursery rhyme "Mary Mary Quite Contrary."
The song deals with the pain and frustration of being in a relationship that seems to be going nowhere. It's a common theme in pop music, but Conor Maynard brings an extra level of emotional depth to the lyrics, as he sings about his desire to break free from this cycle. The song's catchy melody and upbeat instrumentation create a contrast with the sad and introspective lyrics, amplifying the emotional impact of the song.
