Lyrics
"Ride"
Verse 1:
You made a lot of promises
-said you wanted me
You picked me up, and pulled me in, and knocked me off my feet.
I should have known those were nothin but lies
by the crack in your voice and the look in your eyes
Pre-Chorus:
Let me make this simple
Let's not drag it out
Yeah, I think I know what this is all about.
Chorus:
You're holdin out, foldin out on me
You got a loose and lazy wandering eye
You wanna keep your options open, and keep me on the side
in case a better offer lands the tide.
Well, if it's all the same to you, I'm gonna ride.
Verse 2:
You say that you love me
--say I'm quite the catch
You tell me that I'm good for you-that we're a perfect match
I should of known those were nothin but lies when you didn't come home
and I was all alone, like a fool by the phone
Pre-Chorus:
Let me make this simple
Let's not drag it out
Yeah, I think I know what this is all about
Chorus:
You're holdin out, foldin out on me
You got a loose and lazy wandering eye
You wanna keep your options open and keep me on the side
in case a better offer lands the tide.
If it's all the same to you,
I'm gonna ride...
Chorus Repeat...
Yeah, if it's all the same to you...I'm gonna ride...
Yeah...I'm gonna ride...
Ooh...yeah...I'm gonna ride.
