Roller Coaster
Chateaux Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Whenever I'm down she makes me feel fine
Rocks like a cat and talks like a queen
You never know just what you've never seen
Riding a roller coaster
Up and down on a Saturday night
Riding a roller coaster
She slick she's chic, she's nobody's fool
When the lovin gets heavy, she keeps her cool
I've been around and I've seen the best
When she touches me, forget the rest
Riding a roller coaster
Up and down on a Saturday night
Riding a roller coaster
Up and down hey every night
She's takin' me up, she's takin' me down
She's takin' me up, she's fooling around
She's takin' me up, takin' me down
She's takin' me up, and I'm going down
Long fingernails, cos I love the touch
She'll ask you for more boy if she can't get enough
But if you can't get enough
With all the hooks she doesn't like to be lead
You feel so good when she uses her head
Takin' me up, takin' me down
Slow down
Like a roller coaster
