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
