I told mamma, time to make my way now

I'll be departin' any day now

She dried a tear and whispered, "Well, okay now"

Then she proceeded to offer me this advice



She said, "Some night you're gonna find romance

Some boy who's gonna want a slow dance

You'll melt when he takes a hold of your hand

Well, that's one time you might ought to better think twice"



Sometimes love strikes like lightning

Never seen nothing so exciting

Head over heals and that's where the trouble starts



Boys will lead you on like it's all or nothing

When they start that huffin' and a puffin'

Watch out for the big bad broken heart



"Those boys don't know the word devotion

Passion is just a passing motion

They'll leave you bobbing in love's ocean

With a sea of tears welling up in your eyes"



Sometimes love strikes like lightning

Never seen nothing so exciting

Head over heals and that's where the trouble starts



Boys will lead you on like it's all or nothing

When they start that huffin' and a puffin'

Watch out for the big bad broken heart



Sometimes love strikes like lightning

Never seen nothing so exciting

Head over heals and that's where the trouble starts



Boys will lead you on like it's all or nothing

When they start that huffin' and a puffin'

I say, "Watch out for the big bad broken heart"

Oh, you better watch out for the big bad broken heart
