Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I needed loving
I needed a friend
I needed something
That would be there in the end
[Verse 2]
On a rough ride to Heaven
I want to get inside what will I do
Oh on a rough ride
To heaven
I want to get inside to be with you
[Verse 3]
I knew you'd help me
I knew you could
You knew I didn't want to be misunderstood
[Verse 4]
On a rough ride to Heaven
Want to be inside, what did I do
Oh, on a rough ride to Heaven
I want to be inside to be with you
[Verse 5]
I'm not asking for an easy passage
So I hope you understand
I'm not after any special treatment
But I wouldn't mind a hand
[Verse 6]
On a rough ride
On a rough ride
Oh, rough ride
On a rough ride
[Verse 7]
Rough ride to Heaven
If I want to get inside, what will I do?
What will I do, what will I do?
Rough ride
A rough ride
A rough ride
[Verse 8]
A rough ride to Heaven
I want to get inside, what will I do?
On a rough ride to Heaven
I want to get inside to be with you
On a rough ride to Heaven
I want to get inside want to be with you
Rough ride to Heaven
Ooh, I want to be inside to be with you
On a rough ride to Heaven
