Lyrics
THE RIDE OF LIFE
By: Michael and Jenny
HOOK
WE GO ROUND AND AROUND
BUT I LIKE THE THRILL
LIKE A MERRY GO ROUND
I LOVE HOW IT FEELS
WE GO UP AND DOWN
HOLDING TIGHT
IT'S A SCARY RIDE
BUT I KNOW THAT ITS RIGHT
VERSE 1
Sometimes I feel the fear in me
But you give me much security
As long as you're with me - here by myself
I know nothing will go wrong on this ride
HOOK
WE GO ROUND AND AROUND
BUT I LIKE THE THRILL
LIKE A MERRY GO ROUND
I LOVE HOW IT FEELS
WE GO UP AND DOWN
HOLDING TIGHT
IT'S A SCARY RIDE
BUT I KNOW THAT ITS RIGHT
VERSE 11
The ups are good from the start
It's the down that can stop - the rhythm of our hearts
These feelings at times - are the very best
We'll have some bumps - baby don't stress
HOOK
WE GO ROUND AND AROUND
BUT I LIKE THE THRILL
LIKE A MERRY GO ROUND
I LOVE HOW IT FEELS
WE GO UP AND DOWN
HOLDING TIGHT
IT'S A SCARY RIDE
BUT I KNOW THAT ITS RIGHT
BREAK DOWN
ROUND AND AROUND AND AROUND WE GO
HOW LONG THIS THING LAST NO ONE WILL EVER KNOW
LETS SHOW EVERYBODY HOW IT'S REALLY DONE
HOW IT CAN BE SCARY OR IT CAN BE FUN
IF WE CAN'T TAKE THE UPS & DOWNS
THE BUMPS, THE TURNS, THE SMILES & THE FROWNS
THEN EVERONE WILL KNOW THAT WE'RE NOT STRONG
THE BEST THING TO DO IS NOT TO GET ON
HOOK
WE GO ROUND AND AROUND
BUT I LIKE THE THRILL
LIKE A MERRY GO ROUND
I LOVE HOW IT FEELS
WE GO UP AND DOWN
HOLDING TIGHT
IT'S A SCARY RIDE
BUT I KNOW THAT ITS RIGHT
VAMP HOOK
IT'S THE RIDE OF MY LIFE - RIDE OF MY LIFE SAY
THE RIDE OF MY LIFE - THE RIDE OF MY LIFE
WO OH OH
IT'S THE RIDE OF MY LIFE - RIDE OF MY LIFE SAY
THE RIDE OF MY LIFE - IT'S THE RIDE OF MY LIFE
REPEAT VAMP HOOK
