She's Taking You For A Ride

'She's Taking You For A Ride' was written and first recorded in 1978.

The audio and video for this version were created in January 2025.

"I hear you're seeing something of a friend of mine.
You've been seen out together, having a good time.
You're saying you don't care who knows, there's none can break the spell.
She's told you you're the best and the rest can go to hell.

She's taking you for a ride.
She's taking you for a ride.
She's taking you for a ride.
Me, I take it all in my stride.

Funny how when you're back is turned some people put you down.
Funny the things they chance to say, when you're not around.
She'll tell you I'm a nobody who happened to get the breaks.
But, truly, if she had to choose, well, there's none would take my place.

She's taking you for a ride.
She's taking you for a ride.
She's taking you for a ride.
Me, I take it all in my stride.

I don't care just who she sees, or what she does it for.
While I'm the one she cannot reach, she'll keep coming back for more.

I don't care what you believe, oh, you think what you will.
Tell them all you're number one and, me, I'm over the hill.
And I won't laugh right in your face 'cause I've been there before.
But when your world comes tumbling down, don't say I never told you so.

She's taking you for a ride.
She's taking you for a ride.
She's taking you for a ride.
Me, I take it all in my stride."

This version of the song was recorded in 1993.
