Joyride
Roxette · Tourism
Hello, you fool I love you!
C'mon join the joyride
I hit the road out of nowhere,
I had to jump in my car
and be a rider in a love game
following the stars,
don't need no book of wisdom,
I get no money talk at all
She has a train going downtown,
she's got a club on the moon
and she's telling all her secrets
in a wonderful balloon.
She's the heart of the funfair,
she's got me whistling her private tune
And it all begins where it ends,
and she's all mine,
my magic friend
She says: hello, you fool, I love you,
c'mon join the joyride, join the joyride
She's a flower, I can paint her,
she's a child of the sun,
we're a part of this together,
could never turn around and run
Don't need no fortune teller
to know where my lucky love belongs oh no
Cos it all begins again when it ends, yea,
and we're all
magic friends.
She says: hello, you fool, I love you,
c'mon join the joyride, join the joyride
She says: hello, you fool, I love you,
c'mon join the joyride, be a joyrider
I take you on a skyride,
I feeling like you're spellbound
The sunshine is a lady
who ROX you like a baby
She says: hello, you fool, I love you,
c'mon join the joyride, join the joyride
Hello, you fool, I love you,
c'mon join the joyride, join the joyride
Hello, hello, you fool, I love you,
c'mon c'mon join the joyride, be a joyrider

Joyride - Roxette
Released in 1996 on the album Tourism, Joyride is a synth-pop track that exemplifies Roxette's mature sound during the mid-to-late 1990s. The song features the signature vocal interplay between Per Gessle and Marie Fredriksson, blending melodic pop sensibilities with the electronic production trends of the era. While the track did not achieve the same global commercial dominance as their earlier hits, it remains a significant part of their discography, showcasing their ability to evolve their style while maintaining their core identity. The recording reflects the shift in their musical direction as they moved away from the pure pop of their peak years into a more textured, genre-blending approach.
