[Eb]Listen to me, baby, you got to under[C#/Eb]stand[Fm/Eb]
[Eb]You're old enough to know the makings of a[C#/Eb] man[Fm/Eb]

[Eb]Am I asking too much for you to stick ar[C#/Eb]ound[Fm/Eb]
Refrain 1:
E[C]very boy wants a g[Dm]irl
He can t[G7]rust to the v[C]ery end
[(C)]Baby, that's [Dm]you

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!)

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)

[Fm7]Lightnin's striking ag[Gm7]ain and again and ag[C7]ain and again
