[By Bobby Liebling and Geoff O'Keefe]

You say you got something to offer it don't mean a thing to me
I wish you'd just let me suffer, I've already seen
The years went flyin' by and I was lookin' for a 74
As long as I had me no love its gonna be another locked door
I need you to need me
Right now
Expect me to struggle
Aawww make it anyhow
Ain't no stopping once this wheel starts to turn
I got and empty spot in my heart for your love that's burnin'
Just try and have me some fun baby you gotta believe it whoo
Once you get my love again you'll never leave it
I wanna all night lollipop
Sure got the style
I just want you to bring me up
Even if it's only for a while ooowww!!
You better look whats goin' on with me
Well I need something baby you know what it's got to be
There ain't no stoppin' now your on a trip goin' all the way up
Must be a wheel of fortune honey I never stop
I want a all night lollipop
Yeah you got the style
I want you to bring me up
Even if its only for a while, eah,rrrwhew
I got to stay on the move
And you sure get me in the mood ya know
I'm a wheel of fortune




'bout to make my turn on you, eahh, eahh,
Rrrroww, now now, alright

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Pentagram's song Wheel of Fortune are a reflection on the ups and downs of love and relationships. The singer is jaded and uninterested in what someone has to offer them. They've seen it all before and wish to suffer alone, but at the same time, crave love and affection. They mention their barren heart and how love is the only key to unlock another "locked door." The lyrics suggest that they want someone to need them, but also expect the struggle that comes with love.


The singer of the song then switches gears and becomes more playful. They talk about wanting to have fun and how once they have someone's love again, they'll never let it go. There is a sense of desire and yearning in the lyrics as the singer pleads for someone to bring them up, even if it's only for a little while. They then reference the "wheel of fortune," suggesting that love is like a game of chance or luck, and once it starts, there's no stopping it.


Overall, the lyrics of Wheel of Fortune reflect the complicated nature of love and how it can be both a source of joy and struggle in our lives. The singer is longing for someone to love them, but also aware of the challenges that come with it. The song is a bluesy, rock and roll anthem that captures the emotional rollercoaster of love.
