She destroys me / stands back and laughs at me / has to be romantic tragedy for her to come after me / she knows I don't know my way and I'd say I was already lost when I got off the highway / she takes her own sweet time and then she takes mine / makes the world wait even when paying late fines / she makes the pain go away at least today / I'd stay but finally I know a little better

and if it's true what I'm told I'll go out of my way to make the day last longer / and if it's true what I'm told I'll hold
onto my heart from the start and go along for the ride

go along for the ride...

she's got me / she knows it / shows it in the way that she acts and you can see it in the way I react / she cracks up / laughs up a storm / wrapped up in warm light just like the day she was born / she knows a whole lot more than she lets on / steps on hearts with high heels and fish nets on / she falls back into a good book and drifts off to sleep while I watch 'cause I'm in too deep

and if it's true what I'm told I'll go out of my way to make the day last longer / and if it's true what I'm told I'll hold
onto my heart from the start and go along for the ride

go along for the ride...

...'til the wheels fall off this jalopy / can't stop me / got me caught up since Amadeus tried to rock me / awfully nice of her to ask to blast but better if she never got me gassed from the start / last one to part stayed past her welcome / fell from grace / you can tell from the faith she left behind / right there next to mine about face with hardly a trace left to find / next to shine best to find SPF30 / testified best to fry when the pan's dirty / guess that I'm left to find someone else to serve me and I mean that in both senses so I'm defenseless / guest list overload no throne to overthrow / damn near live here but still don't know the road / blow the code / mixing metaphors and such / but that's what I met her for / she comes through in the clutch / and who wanna fuss with these details when these females are harder to read than sentiments in e-mails? / read braille if you wanna feel what she has to say / no jacks or jump ropes she don't play / "you don't say?" / I don't no, not often / carry most of my thoughts on this to the coffin / stopped in my tracks turn back for a beating again / and then pretend that it's all good

and if it's true what I'm told I'll go out of my way to make the day last longer / and if it's true what I'm told I'll hold
onto my heart from the start and go along for the ride

go along for the ride...
