Lyrics:
[Verse 1] Sailin' away on the crest of a wave It's like magic Oh, rollin' and ridin' and slippin' & slidin' It's magic [Pre-Chorus] And you and your sweet desire You took me, oh, higher and higher, baby [Chorus] 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) [Verse 2] Making believe this is what you conceived From your worst day (I'm taking a dive) Oh, moving in line then you look back in time To the first day (I'm taking, I'm taking) [Pre-Chorus] And you and your sweet desire (Don't you do it, don't you do it) You took me, oh, higher and higher, baby [Chorus] 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 the slide, hey) [Verse 3] Takin' a dive 'cause you can't halt the slide Floating downstream (I'm taking a dive) Oh, so let her go, don't start spoiling the show It's a bad dream (I'm taking, I'm taking) [Pre-Chorus] And you and your sweet desire (Don't you do it, don't you do it) You took me, oh, higher and higher, baby [Chorus] It's a livin' thing It's a terrible thing to lose It's a given thing What a terrible thing to lose [Chorus] It's a livin' thing It's a terrible thing to lose It's a given thing What a terrible thing to lose
