Lyrics of Snowball by DEVO
verse
My baby took our love, and then she rolled it up
Rolled it up a hill, like a ball of snow
Like a snowball grows, until it gets too big
Until she lost control
chorus
And it rolled back down
And it rolled back down
And it rolled back down
And it rolled back down
verse
She took a tiny bit and rolled it up again
Slower than before, she went a step too far
She had to let it go, I saw it go straight down
My baby turned around
chorus
Started up again
Started up again
Started up again
Started up again
verse
Eyes were made for looking, hands were made for holding
Hearts were made for loving, lips were made for kissing
Legs were made for walking, tracks were made to follow
That′s what I'm gonna do
bridge
Two tracks in the snow
Two tracks up that hill
My heart broke when my baby left
Two tracks behind
Writer(s): Mark Allen Mothersbaugh, Gerald Casale
