Lightning Strikes, 1982

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!

Chorus:
Lightning's striking again! (...and again, and again, and again...)
Lightning's striking again! (...and again, and again, and again...)
Lightning's striking again! (...and again, and again, and again...)
Lightning's striking again! (...and 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!

(repeat chorus)

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!

(repeat chorus)
