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
It's four in the mornin', I'm tossin' and turnin' Lord I think that I'm comin' apart I cry your name in the darkness As I feel the tears burnin' It's hard to sleep on a broken heart
You tell me we've been treadin' water Floatin' on courage and pride I thought we would last But now I'm sinkin' fast In this river of tears that I've cried
I stare out the window And wonder where did you go And count the long hours 'til dawn If I cry me a river it's because I don't know Why you drifted while I'm hangin' on
You tell me we've been treadin' water Floatin' on courage and pride I thought we would last But now I'm sinkin' fast In this river of tears that I've cried
