Merry Go Round
Rogues Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Just gimme a reason
And any one will do
And I'll stay tonight
If you want me to

I'm not really that type of girl
But you're my type of guy
Come a little closer darlin'
And I'll show you why

(You're so good)
You make my world go 'round
You make my world go 'round
Gotta make my world turn round, round round
(You're so good)

Just tell me a story
And any one will do
I can make it happen
If you want me to

I can be any type of girl but
You're my type of guy




I can feel us turning baby
Filling up the sky

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Rogue's song "Merry Go Round" portray a scenario where the singer is willing to stay with someone for the night, even if it's just for a flimsy or made-up reason. She's not typically the type of person to do such a thing, but she finds the person she's with so appealing that she'll bend the rules - and even her own personal beliefs - to ensure that she gets to spend more time with him. The first verse sets up the situation; she's telling the person she's with that all they need to do is provide her with any reason at all and she'll remain with him/her. She then proceeds to sing about how she's not typically the kind of girl that does this kind of thing, but that's how much she likes this person - he's her "type of guy". She tells him to come closer, and hints at what could happen if he does.


The chorus talks about how he makes her world "go round", and that he has the power to make it "turn round, round, round". Essentially, Rogue is stating that this person has an incredibly big impact on her life and that he's changing everything for the better. The second verse pretty much repeats the same message as the first, with the caveat that the singer can "be any type of girl" if that's what the person she's with wants - because he's still her type of guy. She's saying that she'll do anything to make the relationship work, and it seems like the feelings are mutual because she can "feel us turning baby, filling up the sky." This last line seems to imply that their relationship has the potential to take off and turn into something bigger than both of them.
