Letra
[Verse 1]
Sailin' away on the crest of a wave, it's like magic
I'm rollin' and ridin' and slippin' and slidin', it's magic
And you and your sweet desire
Took me, whoa, higher and higher, baby
[Verse 2]
It's a livin' thing
It's a terrible thing to lose
It's a givin' thing
What a terrible thing to lose
[Verse 3]
Are we takin' a dive? Dive
[Verse 4]
I can't believe this is what you can see from you worst day
(I'm takin' a dive)
I'm movin' in line, then you look back in time to the first time
(I'm takin', I'm takin')
And you and your sweet desire
(Don't you do it, don't you do it)
Took me, whoa, higher and higher, baby
[Verse 5]
It's a livin' thing
It's a terrible thing to lose
It's a givin' thing
What a terrible thing to lose
[Verse 6]
I'm takin' a dive
Always dive
Hey
[Verse 7]
Takin' a dive 'cause you can't halt the slide floating down stream
(I'm takin' a dive)
So let her know, don't start spoiling the show, it's a bad dream
(I'm takin', I'm takin')
And you and your sweet desire
(Don't you do it, don't you do it)
Took me, whoa, higher and higher, baby
[Verse 8]
It's a livin' thing
It's a terrible thing to lose
It's a givin' thing
What a terrible thing to lose
[Verse 9]
It's a livin' thing
It's a terrible thing to lose
It's a givin' thing
What a terrible thing to lose
