Lyrics

Listen to me, baby, you gotta understand

(Baby, ah-ooh)

You're old enough to know the makin's of a man

(Baby, ah-ooh)

Listen to me, baby, it's hard to settle down

(Baby, ah-ooh)

Am I askin' 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

Lightning is striking again

Lightning is striking again

Nature's takin' over my one-track mind

(Baby, ah-ooh)

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

(Baby, ah-ooh)

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

(Baby, ah-ooh)

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

If she's put together fine

And she's readin' my mind

(Stop)

I can't stop

(Stop)

I can't stop myself

Lightning is striking again

Lightning is striking me again

And again and again and again

(Baby, ah-ooh)

(Baby, ah-ooh)

(Baby, ah-ooh)

Lightning is striking again

Lightning is 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

Lightning is striking again

Oh, lightning is striking me again

And again and again and again and

Lightning is striking again

And again and again and again
