ROLLER COASTER RIDE

Words and Music By Sam Creigh

Sam Says: Many songs and poems have been written over the years comparing the ups and downs of romance to a roller coaster ride. I thought it would be appropriate to consider some other carnival rides as well.

You smile and make my heart soar up to the clouds

Then you pout and get it free-fallin' down to the ground

Lovin' you, Baby, is like a roller coaster ride

The back and forth, curve around can make me feel ill

But the climb back to the top gets me lost in your thrill

Lovin' you, Baby, is like a roller coaster ride

Don't want to ride on a merry-go-round

Who wants to be stuck close to the ground

And I don't want to ride on a tilt-a-whirl

I just want a roller coaster kind of girl

So lock the bar down, pull my seat belt tight

I'm going out to see my baby tonight

Lovin' you, Baby, is like a roller coaster ride

When it's time to get off 'cause we've rolled to the end

I'm right back in line so I can ride you again

Lovin' you, Baby, is like a roller coaster ride

Don't want to ride in a bumper car

Things are wild enough just as they are

And I don't want to ride on the octopus

I just want to ride with my baby into the nimbus

So lock the bar down, pull my seat belt tight

I'm going out to see my baby tonight

My roller coaster baby, you're like a roller coaster ride

Roller coaster baby you're like--a roller coaster ride
