Katy Perry - Merry Go ’Round lyrics

[Verse 1: Kacey Musgraves] If you ain’t got two kids by 21 You’re probably gonna die alone At least that’s what tradition told you And it don’t matter if you don’t believe Come Sunday morning you best be There in the front row, like you’re s’posed to Same hurt in every heart Same trailer, different park [Pre-Chorus: Katy Perry & Kacey Musgraves] Mama’s hooked on Mary Kay Brother’s hooked on Mary Jane And Daddy’s hooked on Mary two doors down [Chorus: Kacey Musgraves & Katy Perry] Mary Mary quite contrary We get bored so we get married And just like dust we settle in this town On this broken merry go ’round And ’round and ’round we go Where it stops nobody knows And it ain’t slowin’ down This merry go ’round [Verse 2: Katy Perry] We think the first time’s good enough So we hold on to high school love Say we won’t end up like our parents Tiny little boxes in a row Ain’t what you want it’s what you know Just happy in the shoes you’re wearin’ Same checks we’re always cashin’ To buy a little more distraction [Pre-Chorus: Katy Perry & Kacey Musgraves] ‘Cause Mama’s hooked on Mary Kay Brother’s hooked on Mary Jane And Daddy’s hooked on Mary two doors down [Chorus: Kacey Musgraves & Katy Perry] Mary Mary quite contrary We get bored so we get married And just like dust we settle in this town On this broken merry go ’round And ’round and ’round we go Where it stops nobody knows And it ain’t slowin’ down This merry go ’round Mary Mary quite contrary We’re so bored until we’re buried And just like dust we settle in this town On this broken merry go ’round And ’round and ’round we go Where it stops nobody knows And it ain’t slowin’ down This merry go ’round [Outro: Katy Perry & Kacey Musgraves] Jack and Jill went up the hill Jack burned out on booze and pills And Mary had a little lamb Mary just don’t give a damn no more
