Sailin' away on the crest of a wave, it's like magic
Ah, 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 given thing, what a terrible thing to lose
(I'm taking a dive)
(Dive)
Making believe this is what you've conceived
From your worst day (I'm taking a dive)
Oh, moving in line when you look back in time
To your first day (I'm taking, I'm taking)
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 given thing, what a terrible thing to lose
(I'm taking a dive)
(On a slide)
(Dive)
Takin' a dive cause you can't halt the slide
Floating downstream (I'm taking a dive)
Ah, so let her go don't start spoiling the show
It's a bad dream (I'm taking, I'm taking)
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 given thing, what a terrible thing to lose
