Lyrics

SHE LIVED NEXT DOOR TO ME
SINCE WE WERE ONLY THREE
WE PLAYED IN THE SAND AND ON THE SWINGS, AND IN THE CHERRY TREE
ONE DAY SHE GOT A WAGON
AND ASKED ME TO SIT INSIDE
AND THEN, SHE TOOK ME FOR A RIDE
(CHORUS ONE) SHE TOOK ME FOR A RIDE, SOMEDAY SHE'D BE MY BRIDE, SHE COULD SEE THE LOVE IN ME AND WHAT I FELT INSIDE, I THOUGHT OUR LOVE WAS TRUE AND THAT FOREVER WE'D SURVIVE, LORDY LORD SHE TOOK ME FOR A RIDE.
(VERSE 2) IN OUR SENIOR YEAR THE PROM WAS GETTIN' NEAR, I HAD NO CAR, I GUESS THAT WE'D STAY HOME, IT WOULD APPEAR, THEN SHE PULLED UP WITH HER DADDY'S CAR WHICH HE DID PROVIDE, AND THEN, SHE TOOK ME FOR A RIDE. (REPEAT CHORUS ONE)
(VERSE 3) SOON AFTER WE GOT MARRIED, WE WERE HAPPY ALL THE WHILE, I LOVED TO KISS HER ON THE LIPS, I LOVED TO SEE HER SMILE, SHE SAID "WE'RE MISSING SOMETHING, YOU AND I CAN BOTH PROVIDE", AND THEN, SHE TOOK ME FOR A RIDE. (REPEAT CHORUS ONE, SUBSTITUTE LINE 2 WITH - SHE WAS MY LOVELY BRIDE.
(VERSE 4) AFTER WE HAD CHILDREN, THE YEARS FLEW BY SO FAST, OUR PROBLEMS, THEY GREW LARGER AND DID NOT SEEM TO PASS, ONE DAY SHE SAID "TALK TO MY LAWYER, OUR RELATIONSHIP HAS DIED", AND THEN, SHE TOOK ME FOR A RIDE.
(CHORUS TWO) SHE TOOK ME FOR A RIDE, SHE NO LONGER WAS MY BRIDE, SHE WANTED TO DESTROY ME AND MAKE ME HURT INSIDE, SHE GOT THE HOUSE, THE KIDS AND CAR, THERE'S NO MORE TO DIVIDE, AND LORDY LORD, SHE TOOK ME FOR A RIDE, MY BABY, SHE TOOK ME FOR A RIDE.
