Merry Go Round
jacksoul Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Watchin' at the BET booty why?all, I ain't botherin' nobody
In walks my lady though, lookin' for drama yo
Heavin' and screamin', I don't know exactly what I did
Back peddle, double talk, cuss me up
Then you walk
Do your sisters call you up, beg you back again
Then I take you out, spend some cheddar
Love you up till you feel better
It last a week or so
But that's the way it goes on the merry go round
I'm just a simple man, simple dreams, simple plans
So I cannot understand the ways around your mind
I don't got telepathy for the vibes you been sendin' me
They used to be offending me but now it rolls off my spine
Back peddle, double talk, cuss me up
Then you walk
Do your sisters call you up, beg you back again
Then I take you out, spend some cheddar
Love you up till you feel better
It last a week or so
But that's the way it goes on the merry go round
Girl I know your game, yo
No, I ain't gon scream and shout no
I'ma go and watch some TV
Like I'm gon sleep on the couch
Though I'ma wait till 3 a.m yes
Cause by then you won't be vex
Next I'ma sneak beneath the covers
And we'll have some make up sex, yes
Back peddle, double talk, cuss me up
Then you walk
Do your sisters call you up, beg you back again
Then I take you out, spend some cheddar
Love you up till you feel better
It last a week or so
That's the way it goes
Sing it
Back peddle, double talk, cuss me up
Then you walk
Do your sisters call you up, beg you back again
Then I take you out, spend some cheddar
Love you up till you feel better
It last a week or so
That's the way it goes, on the merry go round
Just another day, on the merry go round
Love goes up and down, on the merry go round
That's what I found, on the merry go round, yeah
The lyrics for Jacksoul's song "Merry Go Round" are about a man dealing with the cyclical, emotionally exhausting nature of a relationship where his partner constantly gets upset with him, leaves and then comes back. He is portrayed as a simple man with simple dreams and plans who doesn't understand the complex thought processes of his partner. The lyrics describe his partner's erratic behavior with lines like "Back peddle, double talk, cuss me up, then you walk," and "Do your sisters call you up, beg you back again." Despite the routine nature of their breakups and makeups, the song ends with the implication that the couple has makeup sex and continues the cycle.
The lyrics are relatable to many individuals who have experienced similar emotional turmoil in their relationships. The song highlights how emotional exhaustion can leave people feeling like they are on a "merry go round," going in circles without really making any progress or achieving anything meaningful. However, the fact that the song ends with the couple making up suggests a bittersweet feeling of hope and longing despite the cycle of heartbreak that they are seemingly caught in.
