I'm gettin' dizzy, I lost my cool I think she's payin' me for a fool Goin' home, my money's spent Ain't got none left to pay the rent In for a penny, in for a pen My baby got me on a merry-go-round In for a dollar, in for a cent I gotta go, now my money's spent I think her friends are laughin' at me They seen it all before, you see The girl may be very fine But she's takin' all my money and time I'm goin' home to feed the hound And put my feet back on the ground In for a penny, in for a pen My baby got me on a merry-go-round In for a dollar, in for a cent I gotta go, now my money's spent She got me spinnin' round like a top I just don't know where it's gonna stop She took my hand, she took my heart She took my wallet out in the park In for a penny, in for a pen My baby got me on a merry-go-round In for a dollar, in for a cent I gotta go, now my money's spent In for a penny, in for a pen My baby got me on a merry-go-round In for a penny, in for a pen She got my head spinnin' round, round, round, round
