Verse 1:
Eb Db/Eb Fm/Eb
Listen to me, baby, you got to understand
Eb Db/Eb Fm/Eb
You’re old enough to know the makings of a man
Eb Db/Eb Fm/Eb
Listen to me, baby, it’s hard to settle down
Eb Db/Eb Fm/Eb
Am I asking too much for you to stick around
Refrain 1:
C Dm
Every boy wants a girl
G7 C
He can trust to the very end
(C) Dm
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!)
Chorus 1:
Fm7 Gm7 C7
Lightnin’s striking again
Fm7 Gm7 C7
Lightnin’s striking again
Verse 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 the rules
Refrain 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 (Stop!)
I can’t stop (Stop!) I can’t stop myself
(Stop! Stop!)
Chorus 2:
Lightnin’s striking again
Lightnin’s striking again and again and again and again

Refrain 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 (Stop!)
I can’t stop (Stop!) I can’t stop myself
(Stop! Stop!)
[repeat chorus 2]
Coda (repeat to fade):
Fm7 Gm7 C7
Lightnin’s striking again and again and again and again
