[Verse 1]
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 realise I hurt you, so I stay just as I am

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 3]
I used to try, oh, I used to try
Used to cry, oh, I used to cry
[Guitar Solo/Instrumental]

[Chorus]
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
