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
                   G7     C
        Won't you wait   but 'til then

             C
        When I see lips beggin' to be kissed (Stop!)
                              C7
        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

[repeat chorus 1]

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]
