I told mamma
Time to make my way now
I'll be departin'
Any day now
She dried a tear
And whispered
Well ok now
Then she proceeded
To offer me this advice
She said some night
You're gonna find romance
Some boy who is
Gonna want a slow dance
You'll melt when he takes
A hold of your hand
Well
That's one time you might
Outta better think twice

Chorus:
Sometimes love strikes
Like lightning
Never seen
Nothing so exciting
Head over heals
And that's where
The trouble starts
Boys will lead you
On like
It's all or nothing
When they start
That huffin'
And a puffin'
Watch out
For the big bad
Broken heart

Those boys
Don't know
The word devotion
Passion is just
A passing motion
They'll leave you
Bobbing in loves ocean
With a sea of tears
Welling up in your eyes

(Chorus)
