Well the world keeps a turnin' goin' round and round

I can't seem to keep my feet on the ground

Ain't nobody gonna be my boss

So if you stop the world baby I'll jump off

Well you say you're tired of me singin' the blues

But baby some folks are born to lose

I don't mean to sound so 'cross

But if you stop the world baby I'll jump off

Well some folks do and some folks don't

Some say they will and some say they won't

Somewhere along the line I got lost

So if you stop the world baby I'll jump off

Well you say you're tired of me singin' the blues

But baby some folks are born to lose

I don't mean to sound so 'cross

But if you stop the world baby I'll jump off

Well slippin' and slidin' jumpin' back in the alley

That's all right for old long tall Sally

But when it comes to me and you

Slippin' and slidin' baby just won't do

I don't mean to sound so cross

But if you stop the world baby I'll jump off
