Joyride
Roxette Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hello, you fool, I love you
C'mon join the joyride

I hit the road out of nowhere
I had to jump in my car
And be a rider in a love game
Following the stars
Don't need a book of wisdom
I get no money talk at all

She has a train going downtown
She's got a club on the moon
And she's telling all her secrets
In a wonderful balloon

She's the heart of the funfair
She's got me whistling a private tune
And it all begins where it ends
And she's all mine, my magic friend

She says, "hello, you fool, I love you
C'mon join the joyride"
Join the joyride

She's a flower, I could paint her
She's a child of the sun
We're a part of this together
Could never turn around and run

Don't need no fortune teller
To know where my lucky love belongs, whoa no
'Cause it all begins again when it ends, yeah
And we're all magic friends (magic friends, magic friends)

She says, "hello, you fool, I love you
C'mon join the joyride"
Join the joyride
She says, "hello (hello), you fool (you fool), I love you (I love you)
C'mon join the joyride"
Be a joyrider, ow

I'll take you on a sky ride
I'm feeling like I'm spellbound
The sunshine is a lady
Who rocks you like a baby

She says, "hello (hello) you fool (you fool) I love you (I love you)
C'mon join the joyride"
Join the joyride

Hello, you fool, I love you
C'mon join the joyride
Join the joyride

Hello, hello, you fool, I love you
C'mon, c'mon join the joyride

I grew up listening to Roxette with my mom. A few years ago we had an opportunity to see Roxette on concert here in Norway where I live, unfortunately we didn't make it, it's now one of the biggest regrets of my life because Marie passed away soon after. If you ever get the opportunity to see an artist you love perform live, GO!! Enjoy life while it's happening! ❤️

@rosscameronsmith

I know what you mean. I had the chance to see them at the Scandinavium in Gothenburg years ago but chose not to because "there would be time later". Time doesn't wait, always seize the opportunity.
