by John Lennon

People say Im crazy doing
what Im doing
Well they give me all kinds of warnings
to save me from ruin
When I say that I'm o.k.
well they look at me kind of strange
Surely youre not happy now
you no longer play the game

People say I'm lazy
dreaming my life away
Well they give me all kinds of advice designed to enlighten me
When I tell them that I'm doing fine watching shadows on the wall
Dont you miss the big time boy
you're no longer on the ball

Im just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round
I really love to watch them roll
No longer riding on the merry-go-round
I just had to let it go

Ah, people asking questions
lost in confusion
Well I tell them theres no problem,
only solutions
Well they shake their heads
and they look at me
as if Ive lost my mind
I tell them there's no hurry
I'm just sitting here doing time

Im just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round
I really love to watch them roll
No longer riding on the merry-go-round
I just had to let it go
I just had to let it go
