This world this world keeps turning, turning around
This world keeps turning me upside down
I can't do nothing to slow it down
This world keeps turning and turning around

Everything you have today. Soon could be gone away
Yesterday I had no sorrow. Here today and gone tomorrow
Here today and gone tomorrow

This world this world keeps turning, turning around
This world keeps turning me upside down
I can't do nothing to slow it down
This world it keeps turning, turning around

People can be so cruel. They'll cheat you and treat you like a fool
They'll drag your dreams through the dust. ‘Till you don't know who to trust
I don't know who to trust

The more I learn The less I know
Got so far to go. Got so far to go

This world this world keeps turning and turning around
This world keeps turning me upside down
I can't do nothing to slow it down
This world it keeps turning, turning around
