Lightnin' Strikes

Lou Christie

(Lou Christie - Twyla Herbert)

Listen to me, baby, you got to understand

You're old enough to know the makings of a man

Listen to me, baby, it's hard 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 wait   but 'til then

When I see lips beggin' to be kissed (Stop!)

I can't stop (Stop!)  I can't stop myself

                             (Stop!  Stop!)

Lightnin's striking again

Lightnin's striking again

Nature's takin' over my one-track mind

Believe it or not, you're in my heart all the time

All the girls are sayin' that you'll end up a fool

For the time being, baby, live by the rules

When I settle down

I want one 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 readin' my mind (Stop!)

I can't stop (Stop!)  I can't stop myself

                             (Stop!  Stop!)

Lightnin's striking again

Lightnin's striking again and again and again and again

Lightnin's striking again

Lightnin's striking again

There's a chapel in the pines

Waiting for us around the bend

Picture in your mind

Love forever, but 'til then

If she gives me a sign that she wants to make time (Stop!)

I can't stop (Stop!)  I can't stop myself

                             (Stop!  Stop!)

Lightnin's striking again

Lightnin's striking again and again and again and again

Lightnin's striking again and again and again and again
