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 [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/e/electric_light_orchestra/livin_thing_album_version.html ] 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
