The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Dressed to kill

You took me without warning

I rehearsed the part a thousand times

But I never knew how good it could feel

First time, a stab in the dark

Then the second time, we took it to heart

And on the third time, we got the love across

First time, a stab in the dark

Then the second time, we took it to heart

And on the third time, we got the love across

Laughing girl!

My heart it beats like thunder

I am shaken up with a love so strong

Right here, I know

Is where we belong

First time, a stab in the dark

Then the second time, we took it to heart

And on the third time, we got the love across

First time, a stab in the dark

Then the second time, we took it to heart

And on the third time, we got the love across

Wrap your arms around me darling

Let me feel what I never believed

Could happen to me

First time, a stab in the dark

Then the second time, we took it to heart

And on the third time, we got the love across

First time, a stab in the dark

Then the second time, we took it to heart

And on the third time, we got the love across
