Electric Light Orchestra Livin' Thing Lyrics

Sailin' away on the crest of a wave
It's like magic
Oh, rollin' and ridin' and slippin' and slidin'
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 conceived
From your worst day (I'm takin' a dive)
Oh, moving in line, then you look back in time
To your first day (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

I'm takin' a dive...
On the sly... hey

Takin' a dive 'cause you can't halt the slide
Floating downstream (I'm takin' a dive)
Oh, 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
What a terrible thing to lose
