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?Every boy wants a girl
He can trust to the very end
Baby, that's you
Won't you wait? But 'til thenWhen I see lips beggin' to be kissed
(Stop)
I can't stop
(Stop)
I can't stop myself
(Stop, stop)Lightning's striking again
Lightning's striking againNature'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 rulesWhen I settle down
I want one baby on my mind
Forgive and forget
And I'll make up for all lost timeIf she's put together fine
And she's readin' my mind
(Stop)
I can't stop
(Stop)
I can't stop myself
(Stop, stop)Lightning's striking again
Lightning's striking again
And again and again and againLightning's striking again
Lightning's striking againThere's a chapel in the pines
Waiting for us, around the bend
Picture in your mind
Love forever, but 'til thenIf she gives me a sign
That she wants to make time
(Stop)
I can't stop
(Stop)
I can't stop myself
(Stop, stop)Lightning's striking again
Lightning's striking again
And again and again and again
Lightning's striking again
And again and again and again
