Lightning Strikes

Listen to me, baby
You got to understand
You're old enough to learn
The makings of a man
Listen to me, baby
It's time to settle down
Am I asking too much
For you to stick around?
Every boy wants a girl
He can trust to the very end
Baby, that's you!
Won't you stay?
But 'til then
When I see lips begging to be kissed
I can't stop
I can't stop myself!
Lightning's striking again! (and again, and again)
Lightning's striking again! (and again, and again)
Nature's taken over
My one-track mind
Believe it or not
You're in my heart all the time
All the girls are saying that you'll end up a fool
For the time being, baby
Live by my rules!
When I settle down
I want one baby on my mind
Forgive and forget
And I'll make up for all lost time
She's put together fine
And she's on my mind
I can't stop!
I can't stop myself!
Lightning's striking again! (and again, and again)
Lightning's striking again! (and again, and again)
There's a chapel in the pines
Waiting for us around the bend
Picture me in your mind, love forever!
But 'til then
When I see lips begging to be kissed
I can't stop
I can't stop myself!
Lightning's striking again! (and again, and again)
Lightning's striking again! (and again, and again)
Lightning's striking again! (and again, and again)
Lightning's striking again! (and again, and again)
Lightning's striking again! (and again, and again)
Lightning's striking again! (and again, and again)
Lightning's striking again! (and again, and again)
Lightning's striking again! (and again, and again)
