carnival games - NELLY FURTADO

If you spend enough cash at the carnival games
You'll have a prize in your hand
when you walk away
It'll slip through your fingers and you'll never know
What winning's really like at all
 
I stayed here too long, now it's in my soul
And when the thunder rolls
I've got nowhere to go
I keep going round on this carousel
Because it spins me so well
 
And I'll stay with you just a little while
There's so much for us to see and do
But don't mistake this for
an adventure in paradise
Just because the rides looks so good
 
Carnival games are so much fun to play hard
to just walk away from
When all you want are pretty things but
the price you pay is always too much
I'll never dry up these tears
Cried from all the years
of playing carnival games
 
To know which way to look, all the shining lights
Sign your name on the postcard of your life
And everyone will say that you came
and conquered yeah, you won the whole race
 
Don't mistake this for
an adventure in paradise
Just because the ride looks so good

Carnival games are so much fun to play hard
to just walk away from
When all you want are pretty things but
the price you pay is always too much
I'll never dry up these tears
Cried from all the years
of playing carnival games 
Carnival games, yeah
 
I wanna shed all of my skin
Feel my blood as it tastes the wind
I don't know where to begin

Carnival games are so much fun to play hard
to just walk away
When all you want are pretty, pretty things
You can't walk away once
You play the game, you can't get
back what you paid from all the years
Of playing carnival games
Carnival games
 
You'll never really know what
You'll never really know what winning's like
You'll never really know what
You'll never really know what winning's like
You'll never really know what
You'll never really know what winning's like
You'll never really know what
You'll never really know what winning's like
