Songteksten

Sailin' away on the crest of a wave, it's like magic Oh, rollin' and ridin' and slippin' and slidin', it's magic And you and your sweet desire You took me, oh (higher and higher, baby) It's a livin' thing It's a terrible thing to lose It's a givin' thing What a terrible thing to lose I'm takin' a dive Dive Makin' believe this is what you've conceived From your worst day (I'm takin' a dive) Oh, movin' in line, then you look back in time To the first day (I'm takin', I'm takin') And you and your sweet desire (don't you do it, don't you do it) You took me, oh (higher and higher, baby) It's a livin' thing It's a terrible thing to lose It's a givin' thing What a terrible thing to lose I'm takin' a dive All the same Hey Takin' a dive, 'cause you can't halt the slide Floating downstream (I'm takin' a dive) Oh, so let her go, 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) You took me, oh (higher and higher, baby) It's a livin' thing It's a terrible thing to lose It's a givin' thing What a terrible thing to lose It's a livin' thing It's a terrible thing to lose It's a givin' thing
