Sailin' away on the crest of a wave
It's like magic
Oh rollin' and ridin', slippin' & sliding
It's magic

And you, and your sweet desire
You took me, ohh 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

Making believe this is what you've conceived
From your worst day (I'm takin a dive)
Oh moving in line when you look back in time
To the first day (I'm taken, I'm taken)

And you and your sweet desire
Don't you do it, don't you do it
You took me, ohh higher and higher baby

It's a living thing
It's a terrible thing to lose
It's a given thing
What a terrible thing to lose

I'm takin a dive
Halt the Slide
Hey!

Takin' a dive 'cos you can't halt the slide
Floating downstream (I'm takin a dive)
Ah 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
You took me, ohh 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

It's a livin' thing
It's a terrible thing to lose...
