Lyrics

By Bryant Switzky

I was just a kid living in a dream
You tasted like summer and cookies and cream
There was a look in your eyes that I’d never seen
And I couldn’t get enough

It was a whirlwind affair using all of our might
We danced with the devil in the pale moonlight
Burning a trail like a meteorite
And I couldn’t get enough

You taught me a lesson I don’t know what it is
I never did learn to turn into the skid
At the end of the day the truth of it is
I like it that way
I like it that way

You held me like a secret you were dying to tell
You flipped me like a coin into a well
I knew all along it would hurt like hell
And I couldn’t get enough

You taught me a lesson I don’t know what it is
I never did learn to turn into the skid
At the end of the day the truth of it is
I like it that way
I like it that way

Maybe the lesson is to have a lot of fun
Raise your hands in the air til the end of the run
Even if you’re sad when the ride’s all done
The memories will feed you for life
They’ll feed you for life

Looking back now on our teenage fling
You were playing me like a pinball machine
Left me dizzy and bruised, but I wouldn’t change a thing
Cuz I still can’t get enough

You taught me a lesson now I know what it is
That’s why I never turn into the skid
The undeniable truth of it is that I
I like it that way
I like it that way
I like it that way
