There's no doubt you're beautiful
You're so full, you gotta be wonderful
So elastic - it's fantastic
Pure lovely - not at all like me
You roped me right into your ring
With your lassoo - with your string

Rodeo - once you think you're riding high, off you go
Idol, ideal partner in dreams
Much too perfect to be true -
Here's another one for you

You say climbing in love is better than falling
Going ahead, is better than stalling -
Amplify me - satisfy me -
You unfold me - but you never told me
How far you've gone to strike upon such technique
You're bit of a rat, but you're still unique

Romeo - once you think you're riding high - of you go
Idol - ideal partner in dreams
Much too perfect to be true
Here's another one for you
Rodeo - love is a rodeo!
