EbEb7AbEb
They warned me when you kissed me your love would ricochet
BbEb
Your lips would find another and your heart would go astray
EbEb7AbEb
I thought that I could hold you with all my many charms
BbEb
But then one day you ricocheted to someone else's arms
[Chorus]
Bb
And baby
EbBb
I don't want a ricochet romance, I don't want a ricochet love
Eb
If you're careless with your kisses, find another turtle dove
Eb7Ab
I can't live on ricochet romance, no, no not me
Adim7Eb/BbC7Fm7BbEb
If you're gonna ricochet, baby, I'm gonna set you free!
[Verse 2]
EbEb7AbEb
I knew the day I met you, you had a rovin' eye
BbEb
I thought that I could hold you, what a fool I was to try
EbEb7AbEb
You promised you'd be faithful and you would never stray
BbEb
Then like a rifle bullet, you began to ricochet
[Chorus]
Bb
And baby
EbBb
I don't want a ricochet romance, I don't want a ricochet love
Eb
If you're careless with your kisses, find another turtle dove
Eb7Ab
I can't live on ricochet romance, no, no not me
Adim7Eb/BbC7Fm7BbEb
If you're gonna ricochet, baby, I'm gonna set you free!
[Verse 3]
EbEb7AbEb
When you announced our wedding, you made me mighty proud
BbEb
I whispered "Two was company" but you preferred a crowd
Eb7AbEb
You buzzed around the other girls just like a busy bee
BbEb
And when you finished buzzin', cousin, you buzzed right back to me
[Chorus]
Bb
And baby
EbBb
I don't want a ricochet romance, I don't want a ricochet love
Eb
If you're careless with your kisses, find another turtle dove
Eb7Ab
I can't live on ricochet romance, no, no not me
Adim7Eb/BbC7Fm7BbEbEb7
If you're gonna ricochet, baby, I'm gonna set you free!
[Outro]
AbAdim7Eb/BbC7Fm7BbEb
If you're gonna ricochet, baby, I'm gonna set you free!
