By an accident of birth, my adolescence took place in the early

seventies instead of the early sixties. But now I'm ready to

make up for all those beach parties I missed. Let's twist! - RR)



Life with you's an endless playground

So many games from which to choose

But it don't fill me with childish joy

It only brings me the blues



I used to think stability would only makes us dull

But your moods are so erratic that I'd welcome such a lull

And I don't know how much more of this my fragile heart can take

I'm not as strong as you may think and one day I could break



Ah...

Because you've got me on an Emotional Rollercoaster

You lift me up, you bring me down

And all the time my heart is spinning round and round and round

But it still feels better than being alone on the ground



Life with you is never boring

It's more like Disneyland

Though the thrills are only momentary

You could never call it bland



One day you say you love me and your passion rings so true

And the next day you ignore me, or you tell me that we're through

Each time I think you're gone for good, but you keep coming back

I cannot take much more of this before I'm gonna crack



Ah...

Because you've got me on an Emotional Rollercoaster

You lift me up, you bring me down

And all because you're drooling over some new boy you've found

But it still feels better than being alone on the ground



Wah-ooh, shoo-bop shoo-bop, shoo-bop shoo-bop, ooh

Wah-ooh, shoo-bop shoo-bop, shoo-bop shoo-bop, ooh



Already it's been going on for way too long a time

If I take any more of this I know I'll lose my mind



Because you've got me on an Emotional Rollercoaster

You lift me up, you bring me down

And all it takes is one kind word to turn my heart around

But it still feels better than being alone on the ground



Life with you can be a funhouse

Other times it frightens me

I never know just what is coming next

My Coney Island fantasy



But I'm hoping there will be a change

One day very soon

And we'll sail into the Tunnel of Love

Beneath a crescent moon



But right now you've got me on an Emotional Rollercoaster

You lift me up, you bring me down

And all the time my heart is spinning round and round and round

But it still feels better than being alone on the ground
