I've been standing 'cross the street 'most every night Trying to keep my eye on you I've been waiting but it seems you never come I never get to you I need a chance 'cause there's a lot that I could say And there's things that I'd like to do Most of all I want to take you away I've got to get to you some way Can't you see the lightning strike Run like wild horses May never be another night like this Well, you can't stand up and fight Against those strange forces It's just a thing you can't afford to miss There's people telling me I'm crazy, they don't know Shouldn't trust a word you say Your excuse is they're just lies, you're having fun Why don't I stay away? Maybe they're right but I don't feel it in my heart You took it out of my control I've fallen in but I don't know where I should start I'm in a minefield, cold and dark Can't you see the lightning strike Run like wild horses May never be another night like this Well, you can't stand up and fight Against those strange forces It's just a thing you can't afford to miss When it cuts you like a knife So deep it's hurting But gets you going like a deadly kiss Could be anything you want While the world's turning You never know it till the bullet hits Can't you see the lightning strike Run like wild horses May never be another night like this Well, you can't stand up and fight Against those strange forces It's just a thing you can't afford to miss When it cuts you like a knife So deep it's hurting But gets you going like a deadly kiss Could be anything you want While the world's turning You never know it till the bullet hits
