Love Is a Roller Coaster
It takes time to climb to the very top
Then it falls straight down and you gasp for air
Your eyes roll back and you pray it won't stop
It turns hard left mashing you in the chair
Your heart skips a beat as it turns back right
Then it starts a climb, your air's gone again
Your heart won't settle and your bladder's tight
As it turns back left and faces the wind
One minute you want to stop and just quit
Then the next minute you want more and more
You cannot tell if you are sick or fit
The one thing for sure it's never a bore
You know when it's over and when it's not
And most of the time you hope it won't end
You learn what it's missing and what it's got
Then buy a ticket and ride it again
