I really tried my hardest just to make you understand What it feels like to a boy when he don't feel like a man But you gave me so much money and you would not understand I realize I hurt you, so I stay just as I am But the whole world keeps on turnin' Yes, the whole world keeps on turnin' But the whole world keeps on turnin' I just roll along There's been one too many mornings and one too many years One of life's delinquents who just can't take the pace We found it out the hard way, I hope you understand That my life is just my habit and I had an overdose But the whole world keeps on turnin' Yes, the whole world keeps on turnin' But the whole world keeps on turnin' I just roll along I used to try, oh, I used to try Used to cry, oh, I used to cry But the whole world keeps on turnin' Yes, the whole world keeps on turnin' But the whole world keeps on turnin' I just roll along
