Livin' Thing

[Verse 1]

Sailin' away on the crest of a wave

It's like magic

Oh, rollin' and ridin' and slippin' and 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

[Post-Chorus]

(I'm takin' a dive)

(Dive)

[Verse 2]

Making believe this is what you conceived

From your worst day (I'm takin' a dive)

Oh, moving in line, then you look back in time

To the first day (I'm takin', I'm takin')

[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

[Post-Chorus]

(I'm takin' a dive)

(On the slide)

(Hey!)

[Verse 3]

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')

[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

It's a livin' thing

It's a terrible thing to lose

It's a given thing

What a terrible thing to lose
