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 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
