Zig Zag

Roy Orbison · Other Songs - Roy Orbison

You have got me going



(Zig zag)



It's my mind you're blowing



(Zig zag)



You can't lose me if you try



(Zig zag, zig zag)



Pass it on by



I don't need no highing



(Zig zag)



Girl, you got me flying



(Zig zag)



I can nearly touch the sky



(Zig zag, zig zag)



Pass it on by



You have got my heart turned on



Why don't you push it on ahead?



Till your heart turns on



You've got love and our lovin' is dead



Instead of wishing for the knowing



(Zig zag)



The way you got me going



(Zig zag)



I'm so glad you caught my eye



(Zig zag, zig zag)



Pass it on by



You have got my heart turned on



Why don't you push it on ahead?



Till your heart turns on



You've got love and our lovin' is dead



Instead of wishing for the knowing



(Zig zag)



The way you got me going



(Zig zag)



I'm so glad you caught my eye



(Zig zag, zig zag)



Pass it on by



Pass it on by



Pass it on by



Pass it on by



Pass it on by



Pass it on by



Pass it on by



Pass it on by



Pass it on by
