I don't like to worry
about no one else
I like to be, you know alone and free
I'm happy by myself ....yeah
But here comes this girl....woh...yeah
I've seen em all around the world
She looks into me
looks right through me
Chorus
Don't you know it hit me like a hammer
Hit me like a ton of lead
You know it hit me like a hammer
You know it hit me, baby
I told myself to take it easy
'cause this won't last long
A day or two I'll be back in love
and she'll be long gone....yeah
But then she caught my eye....woh...yeah
I knew that it was all a lie
I started shakin'
my heart was breakin
Repeat Chorus
And now I can't stop this feelin' I got...I wanna know
'Cause there's no time to make up my mind
You shocked me, now you've got me, if you really want me
But here comes this girl....woh...yeah
I've seen em all around the world
She looks into me
looks right through me
Repeat Chorus
shocked me, now you've got me
You know it hit me like a hammer
Hit me like a five pound sledge.
You know it hit me, baby.
