Highway 101 - Bing Bang Boom lyrics

"Bing Bang Boom" by Highway 101 (Hugh Priestwood)

Gather around me and lend an ear

'Cause I got somethin' you ought to hear

I'm tellin' you that you ought to fear

A certain kind of love

Now it can strike in the day or night

And just as quick as a rattler's bite

You've got a case of love at first sight

And it's what you're dyin' of

It's just bing bang boom, one two three

You're feelin' normal as you can be

And then bing bang boom, lickety split

It doesn't come on bit by bit

It gets instantly in full swing

And it's bing bang boom

Now I was foot loose and fancy free

I had respect, I had dignity

Then this thing gotta hold 'a me

And it still will not let go

I walked in, and my heartbeat jumped

My hair stood up, and my skin goose-bumped

My mind went blank, and my IQ slumped

And my judgment hit the road

It was bing bang boom, one two three

I fell the second he looked at me

It was bing bang boom, lickety split

It didn't come on bit by bit

It was instantly in full swing

It was bing bang boom

And now my obligations slide

I do not even care

And I spend all my wakin' hours

Walkin' on thin air

So friends, you'd best beware

'Cause that's exactly how you'll behave

If you get hit with this tidal wave

And you won't even have time to save

Your sinkin' sanity

(Repeat 1st Chorus)

Bing bang boom

Bing bang boom

Bing bang boom

It gets instantly in full swing

And it's bing bang boom
