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, turning around.

Everything you have today,
soon, can be gone away.
Yesterday, I had no sorrow but,
Here today, gone tomorrow.
Here today and gone tomorrow.

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, turning around.

People can be so cruel.
They'll cheat you and they'll 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.
I got so far to go.
I got so far to go.

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, turning around.
This world keeps turning, turning around
This world keeps turning, turning around
