0:14:07 > 0:14:10# My heart was flyin' up
0:14:10 > 0:14:12# Like a rocket ship
0:14:12 > 0:14:14# Down like a roller coaster
0:14:14 > 0:14:16# Back like a loop-the-loop
0:14:16 > 0:14:20# And around like a merry-go-round
0:14:20 > 0:14:23# We ate and ate at a hot dog stand
0:14:23 > 0:14:25# We danced around to a rockin' band
0:14:25 > 0:14:29# And when I could I gave that girl a hug
0:14:29 > 0:14:31# In the tunnel of love
0:14:31 > 0:14:33# You'll never know how great a kiss can feel
0:14:33 > 0:14:36# When you stop at the top of a Ferris wheel
0:14:36 > 0:14:38# When I fell in love
