-"Ooooh - rights..."

(Ah-uh-)

(Ah-)

I NEEDED LOVING, I NEEDED A FRIEND,
I NEEDED SOMETHING THAT WOULD BE THERE IN THE END.

ON A ROUGH RIDE TO HEAVEN,
I WANNA GET INSIDE BUT WHAT CAN I DO?
OH, ON A ROUGH RIDE TO HEAVEN,
I WANNA GET INSIDE, I WANNA BE WITH YOU.
YEAH, I WANT IT BAD.

I KNEW YOU'D HELP ME, (help me)
I KNEW YOU COULD. (oo-)
YOU KNOW I DIDN'T WANNA BE MISUNDERSTOOD.

ON A ROUGH RIDE TO HEAVEN
I WANNA GET INSIDE BUT WHAT CAN I DO? (to be with you)
OH, ON A ROUGH RIDE TO HEAVEN,
I WANNA GET INSIDE, I WANTS TO BE WITH YOU.
YEAH, I WANNA...

YEAH, ON A ROUGH RIDE TO HEAVEN,
I WANNA GET INSIDE, I WANNA BE WITH...

I'M NOT ASKING FOR AN EASY PASSAGE,
BUT I HOPE YOU UNDERSTAND.
I'M NOT AFTER ANY SPECIAL TREATMENT,
BUT I WOULDN'T MIND A HAND.

HO!

ON A ROUGH RIDE,

YEAH, ROUGH RIDE, OW! OW! OW! OW! OW!
ROUGH RIDE,
ROUGH RIDE.

YEAH, ON A ROUGH RIDE TO HEAVEN,
IF I WANNA GET INSIDE, I WANNA BE WITH YOU.

I WANNA GET INSIDE 'CAUSE I WANNA BE WITH,
'CAUSE I WANNA BE WITH YOU. (hey, rough ride)
ON A ROUGH RIDE TO HEAVEN,
