Lyrics

Lightning Strikes
Words and Music by Arte Tedesco


I've got my life arranged
I've lined it up so neatly
Everything is in its place
The way it ought to be

Comfort with what I know
Embracing me so sweetly
No excitement, no surprise
Nothing to bother me

I've got it all figured out
I've got it all figured out

(...then)
Lightning Strikes!
Nothing looks or feels the same
Lightning Strikes!
I'm not sure if I know my name
Where did you come from?
You knock me out, but it feels so good
(And) I had no warning...
God gave me no warning!

Maybe it's time for a change
I think I'm open-minded
I can make a change or two
Try to fit you in somewhere

I like my life the way it is
The way that I've defined it
What-you-see-is-what-you-get
Now, I think that's only fair!
I've got to figure this out
I've got to figure this out
(...for when)
Lightning Strikes!
Nothing looks or feels the same
Lightning Strikes!
I'm not sure if I know my name
Where did you come from?
You knock me out, but it feels so good
And I had no warning...
God gave me no warning!
( Bridge)

A rattlesnake has the courtesy
To rattle before the bite.
I had no kind of warning
Before I Saw the Light.

Come on, honey stay with me.
I love you so completely!
I will build a new life with you.
Tell me what you need from me.

You're as subtle as a freight train, baby
You smile at me so sweetly
You are everything to me
'Cause every time you look at me!

Lightning Strikes!
