Lyrics:

hit the road out of nowhere

I had to jump in my care

And be a rider in a love game

Following the stars

Don't need no 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 ballon

Oh she's the heart of the funfair

She's got me whistling her 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 can 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, oh no

Cos it all begins when it ends

And we're all magic friends

She says: Hello, you fool, I love you

C'mon join the joyride, be a joyrider (Roxette)

I take you on a skyride

A feeling like your spellbound

The sinshine is a lady

Who rocks you like a baby

She says: Hello, you fool, I love you

C'mon join the joyride, be a joyrider

Enjoy
