Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Riptide

Caught in a riptide

Torn between two loves

The old and the new

Riptide

Lost in a riptide

Where will it take me?

What shall I do?

[Verse 2]

My heart is tossed on a sea of emotion

One love offers romance, the other devotion

A new love is calling, the old love is pleading

I'm caught in a riptide, what shall I do?

Written by: Gus Kahn, Walter Donaldson
