Listen to me baby you gotta understand,
You're old enough to know the makings of a man,
Listen to me baby its hard to settle down,
Am I asking to much for u to stick around?
Every boy wants a girl he can trust to the very end,
Baby that's u,
Won't u wait but till then?
When I see your lips begging to be kissed,
I can't stop,
I can't stop myself
Lightning strikin; again, Lightning strikin'; again
Pictures taking over my 1 track mind,
Believe it or not you're in my heart all the time,
All the girls are saying you'll end up a fool,
For the time being baby live by the rules
When I settle down I want 1 baby on my mind,
Forgive and forget and I'll make up for all lost time.
If she's put together fine and she's reading my mind,
I can't stop,
I can't stop myself
Lightning strikin'; again, Lightning strikin'; again
Lightning strikin'; again, Lightning strikin'; again
There';s a chapel in the pines,
Waiting for us around the bend,
Picture in your mind,
Love forever until then
If she gives me a sign that she wants to make time,
I can't stop,
I can't stop myself
Lightning strikin'; again, Lightning strikin'; again
(Repeat Till Fade)
