Livin' Thing - The Electric Light Orchestra

  
 
Livin' Thing
Sailin' away on the crest of a wave
It's like magic
Oh, rollin' and ridin',slippin' and sliding
It's magic

(CHORUS)
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.

Making believe, this is what you've conceived
From your worst day, I'm takin a dive
Oh, moving in line when you look back in time
To the first day, I'm taken I'm taken

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 living thing,
It's a terrible thing to lose,
It's a given thing
What a terrible thing to lose

I'm takin a dive. 
Halt the slide, hey

Takin' a dive,
 'Cos you can't halt the slide
Floating downstream, 
I'm takin a dive
Ah, 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 , 
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.(x2) 
I'm taking a dive, dive, dive, dive, 
Dive off the slide,
Slide, slide, slide, slide,
Oh, yah, yah, yah, yah, yah 
Off the slide, slide ,slide.
