Lyrics:

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
