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!)

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]

Lightnin's striking again and again and again and again
