Sailin' away on the crest of a wave
It's like magic
Oh and rollin' and ridin' and slippin' and sliding
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 takin' a dive
Dive

Making believe this is what you've conceived
From your worst day
(I'm takin' a dive)
Oh movin' 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
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

And I'm takin' a dive
Ah 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, 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

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