lyrics

You got your ups and you got your downs
There's no need to be cautious
If you're lucky you won't hit the ground
But the loop-de-loops might make you nauseous
Hit the top... your fear still lurks
But you speed downhill... 'cause gravity works

Just loosen up, enjoy the ride and don't hold on too tight
As long as I've got you by my side, I can stay right here all night
It went too fast, it went too fast, it's a shame it had to end
Oh, wait, now we're going backwards, gonna puke all over again

There's something about a rollercoaster ride
People screaming in your ear
Nowhere to run and nowhere to hide
It's time to face your fears

Now I'm on the ride of my life
Sweetheart, will you be my wife?
What's that as the ride comes to an end?
You just want to be friends?

There's something about a rollercoaster ride
People screaming in your ear
Nowhere to run and nowhere to hide
It's time to face your fears
