When love is like a roller coaster Always up and down, eh When love takes over your emotions Spins you round and round? When you don't, when you don't know what you're feeling When you don't, when you don't know what is real When love is like a roller coaster Always up and down, And it goes back around Today I've said some things to you, babe I don't like the way it felt, no I've been giving you, giving you so much attitude, yeh Ah, I guess I really should really check myself Well, you've started it first, You said we'd make it work But here we are going through changes But I need you, can't stand you I want you, but damn you Back and forth, and back What should we do?

When love is like a roller coaster Always up and down, eh When love takes over your emotions Spins you round and round?
