INTRO:
Eb Db Fm (x2)
#1.
Listen to me, baby, you gotta 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?
CHORUS #1.
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,
I can't stop, no, I can't stop myself..
BRIDGE:
Lightning is striking again.....lightning is
striking again.
#2.
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 my rules.
CHORUS #2.
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..
I can't stop, no, I can't stop myself..
BRIDGE:
Lightning is striking again..
Lightning is striking again and again and again and again..
INTERLUDE:
Eb Db Fm (x3) Eb Gm7 C7
BRIDGE:
Lightning is striking again..
Lightning is striking again..
#3.
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,
I can't stop, no, I can't stop myself..
OUTRO:
Lightning is striking again...
Lightning is striking again and again and again and again..
Lightning is striking again and again and again and again..
(Fade)
A sixties smash from Kraziekhat.
