It Hit Me Like a Hammer Lyrics


I don't like to worry
About no one else
I like to be, you know alone and free
I'm happy by myself, yeahBut here comes this girl, woh yeah
I've seen 'em all around the world
She looks into me
Looks right through meDon't you know it hit me like a hammer
Hit me like a ton of lead
You know it hit me like a hammer
You know it hit me, babyI told myself to take it easy
'Cause this won't last long
A day or two I'll be back in love
And she'll be long gone, yeahBut then she caught my eye, woh yeah
I knew that it was all a lie
I started shakin'
My heart was breakin'Don't you know it hit me like a hammer
Hit me like a ton of lead
You know it hit me like a hammer

You know it hit me, babyAnd now I can't stop this feelin' I got, I wanna know
'Cause there's no time to make up my mind
You shocked me, now you've got me
If you really want meBut here comes this girl
I've seen 'em all around the world
She looked into me
Looked right through meDon't you know it hit me like a hammer
Hit me like a ton of lead
You know it hit me like a hammer
You know it hit me, babyShocked me, now you've got me
You know it hit me like a hammer
You know it hit me like a hammer
Hit me like a five pound sledge
You know it hit me, baby
You know it hit me like a hammer

Huey Lewis & the News is a Academy Award-nominated American rock band based in San Francisco, California. Their greatest success was in the 1980s, when they were one of the most popular music acts of the decade and released several gold and platinum albums. The band is known for writing simple, light-hearted songs from a working-class perspective and typically appealed to yuppies and baby boomers.

Combining a rock (and sometimes, a blues rock) backing with harmony vocals and Lewis's voice, Huey Lewis & the News had numerous hit songs during the 1980s and early 1990s, including "The Power of Love" and "Back in Time" (both of which were featured in the film "Back to the Future"), "I Want a New Drug", "Doin' It All (For My Baby)", "Do You Believe in Love?" "Hip to Be Square", "Stuck With You", and "Jacob's Ladder". Huey Lewis shared three Grammy awards, an American Music Award, and a People's Choice Award along with several artists for his role singing the 1985 charity song "We Are the World".

The track 'Hip to Be Square" features prominently in the 2000 movie "American Psycho", starring Christian Bale as serial killer Patrick Bateman. In both the film and the book it was based on, Bateman is a hardcore fan of the band.
