Song lyrics
You give me that funny feeling in my tummy
Ahhh shit, yeah, that's right, huh
Rollercoaster
Of love
Say what?
Rollercoaster
Yeah (ooh ooh, ooh ooh)
Oh, baby, you know what I'm talkin' about
Rollercoaster of love (love rollercoaster, child)
Oh, yeah, it's rollercoaster time
Lovin' you is really wild
Oh, it′s just a love rollercoaster
Step right up and get your tickets!
Your love is like a rollercoaster baby, baby
I wanna ride, yeah (awawawawawaw)
Your love is like a rollercoaster baby
Baby I wanna ride, yeah
Move it over dad cause I'm a double-dipper!
Upside down on the zip-zip-zipper
1, 2, 1, 2, 3, oh I′ve got a ticket so ride with me
Mary go down on the merry-go-round
All is fair on the fair ground
Love go slow, love go fast
Licorice twist gonna whip your ass
Rollercoaster
Of love
Say what?
Rollercoaster
Yeah (ooh ooh, ooh ooh)
Rollercoaster of love
Can you get off our love rollercoaster?
Your love is like a rollercoaster baby, baby
I wanna ride, yeah
Your love is like a rollercoaster baby, baby

I will be there for you, I will be your man
Move over, dad, cause I'm a double dipper!
Upside down on the zip-zip-zipper
1, 2, 1, 2, 3, I′ve got a ticket so ride with me
Mary go down on the merry-go-round
All is fair on the fair ground
Love go slow, love go fast
Licorice twist gonna whip your ass
Rollercoaster
