Ragtime Carnival Lyrics

Come and dance with me, baby
Hitch a ride, all aboard
Don't you dare say, "I love you."
Tell me once, tell me twice
Three times a charm, I'm out the door

Hold me close, pretty baby
Come alive inside my heart
Don't you dare say, "I need you."
Tell me once, tell me twice
Three times a charm, I'm out the door

And I'm getting old, oh lord
I'm getting old
Tell me it's true
Do you think of me
The way I still think of you?

Come and dance with me, baby
Take the carnival ride inside your heart
Lay your jewelry out before me
Say the words that make the world
Go round and round and round

Just be the love that sustains me
Come alive, come alive
Don't you dare say you'll miss me
Tell me once, tell me twice
Three times a charm, I'm out the door

But I'm getting old, whoa lord
I'm getting old
Tell me it's true
Do you think of me
The way I still think of you?

So, what's it take, pretty baby
I need a haircut and you can shave my face
There's a way that you touch me
Tell me once, tell me twice
Three times a charm, I'm out the
Tell me once, tell me twice
Three times a charm, I'm out the
Tell me once, tell me twice
Three times a charm, you know I'm yours

Come and dance with me, baby
Come and dance with me, baby
Come and dance with me, baby
Come and dance with me, baby
(I'm getting old, oh lord)
Come and dance with me, baby
(I'm getting old, oh lord)
Come and dance with me, baby
(I'm getting old, oh lord)
Come and dance with me, baby
(I'm getting old, oh lord)
Come and dance with me, baby
I'm getting old, oh lord
I'm getting old, oh lord
I'm getting old, oh lord
I'm getting old, oh lord
I'm getting old

Let Your Troubles Roll By

Changeless

The Boxer

Desperation Song

Come and dance with me, baby
Hitch a ride, all aboard
Don't you dare say, "I love you."
Tell me once, tell me twice
Three times a charm, I'm out the door

Hold me close, pretty baby
Come alive inside my heart
Don't you dare say, "I need you."
Tell me once, tell me twice
Three times a charm, I'm out the door

And I'm getting old, oh lord
I'm getting old
Tell me it's true
Do you think of me
The way I still think of you?

Come and dance with me, baby
Take the carnival ride inside your heart
Lay your jewelry out before me
Say the words that make the world
Go round and round and round

Just be the love that sustains me
Come alive, come alive
Don't you dare say you'll miss me
Tell me once, tell me twice
Three times a charm, I'm out the door

But I'm getting old, whoa lord
I'm getting old
Tell me it's true
Do you think of me
The way I still think of you?

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
