If someone had told me
That one man could hold me
And leave me weak as a baby
I'da told 'em they were crazy...then
Chorus:
Love hit me like a ten pound hammer
A ten pound hammer with a six-foot swing
Yeah...love hit me like a ten pound hammer
A ten pound hammer with a six-foot swing
I used to play it so cool
Lord knows I was no fool
No chains would ever bind me
But those days are all behind me.....ya see
Repeat Chorus:
I never saw love's power
Just the hearts and the flowers
And when I fell it was frightening
It struck me down like lightening...when
Repeat Chorus:
Bridge:
I used to live like a rollin' stone
Nobody had a hold on me
All it took was a kiss from you
To bring me right down to my knees.....All right
Repeat Chorus:
Repeat Chorus:
Repeat Chorus:
