Deer In The Headlights

Met a girl in the parking lot
And all I did was say hello
Her pepper spray made it rather hard
For me to walk her home
But I guess that's the way it goes
Tell me again was it love at first sight
When I walked by and you caught my eye
Didn't you know love could shine this bright
Well smile because you're the deer in the headlights
Met a girl with a graceful charm
But when beauty met the beast, he froze
Got the sense I was not her type
By the black eye and bloody nose
But I guess that's the way it goes
Tell me again was it love at first sight
When I walked by and you caught my eye
Didn't you know love could shine this bright
Well smile because you're the deer in the headlights
It's suffocating to say,
But the female mystique takes my breath away
So give me a smile or give me a sneer
'Cause I'm trying to guess here
Tell me again was it love at first sight
When I walked by and you caught my eye
Didn't you know love could shine this bright
I'm sorry I ever tried
Deer in the headlights
Tell me again was it love at first sight
When I walked by and you caught my eye
Didn't you know love could shine this bright
If life was a game you would never play nice
If love was a beam you'd be blind in both eyes
Put your sunglasses on,
'cause you're the deer in the headlights
You're the deer in the headlights
You're the deer in the headlights
