From the recording Taken For A Ride
This is a fast-paced heavy rock song about a guy who is being misled by a girl into thinking their relationship has a genuine future - the guy is oblivious to the fact he is being used.
Lyrics
TAKEN FOR A RIDE by Collo
VERSE 1
To try with heart and soul;
To win that starring role;
To find that it was never there to take.
VERSE 2
To be able to stand tall;
Watch the “opposition” fall;
To roll the dice - not knowing they were loaded.
CHORUS 1
As he walked by her side;
A man with some pride;
Oh yeah how he tried;
But he was taken for a ride!
VERSE 3
To know that things can never ever change;
Even when he tries to change himself;
To see that he’s reaching far too high;
But knowing there’s nothing you can do to ease his pain.
CHORUS 2
As he walked by her side;
A man with some pride;
Oh yeah how he tried;
But he was taken for a ride;
BRIDGE
When there’s no place for you to hide;
And you’re feeling oh so cold inside;
Oh you know……………..;
That you’ve been taken for a ride;
That you’ve been taken for a ride;
Yes you’ve been taken for a ride.
CHORUS 3
As he walked by her side;
A man with some pride;
Oh yeah how he tried;
But he was taken for a ride.
