Lightnin'

(Do it to me once shame on you)
(Do it to me twice shame on me)

Lightnin'
They say it never strikes twice in the same place
Lightnin' 
Then why are you back here staring me in my face

I can't believe you're back again
Talkin' bout how you wanna be my friend
I was strung out on you
And boy you know it's true
No other lover could do me like you do

I say 
Lightnin'
Lightnin'
Strike!
(Do it to me once shame on you)
(Do it to me twice shame on me)
Lightnin'
Lightnin'
Strike!
(Do it to me once shame on you)
(Do it to me twice shame on me)

Lightnin'
They say it never strikes twice in the same place
Lightnin' 
Then why are you back here staring me in my face

You had my nose open so wide
That a plane could pass thru without touchin the sides
Had no idea eyes had so many tears
Till I saw you holdin her so near

I say 
Lightnin'
Lightnin'
Strike!
(Do it to me once shame on you)
(Do it to me twice shame on me)
Lightnin'
Lightnin'
Strike!
(Do it to me once shame on you)
(Do it to me twice shame on me)

Lightnin'
They say it never strikes twice in the same place
Lightnin' 
Then why are you back here staring me in my face

The moral to this story is
Don't be blinded by the passion in his kiss
He'll be contrary
His love is temporary
Pain's the biggest word in his vocabulary

Lightnin'
Lightnin'
Strike!
(Do it to me once shame on you)
(Do it to me twice shame on me)
Lightnin'
Lightnin'
Strike!
(Do it to me once shame on you)
(Do it to me twice shame on me)

You're back in a flash
Is it me you want baby, or is it my cash
Did you happen to hear about my success
Yeah, climbin' back up the second time was such a test
Uh uh uh, don't come thru the door
Love don't live here anymore

I used to be your friend
But that was way way way back when
So get in the wind, get in the wind, get in the wind

Yeah baby, you were good
I don't know if you were that good though
What is this, ""find a fool bump his head week""?

I can't take no more misery
Bye bye, bye bye bye, bye bye bye bye bye baby

(Do it to me once shame on you)
(Do it to me twice shame on me)

I like the way you hit me band say
Hit me
Two times
Said make it funky
