Well trouble was on the horizon
The sky was cloudy and grey
Hurricane winds were a-blowing
And she was as cold as that day
Well her eyes were as black as that dark stormy night
The first time I touched her I trembled with fright
I found myself running for cover
But I couldn't make it in time

I was struck by lightning twice
Struck by lightning twice
I don't take nobody's advice
I was struck by lightning twice
When the train starts a-coming
You'd better start running
Struck by lightning twice

Blinded by love like a blizzard
I couldn't see nothing but you
My heart it was pounding like thunder
Oh baby can't you hear it too
Well you left me for dead, washed up on the shore
I didn't learn once
So I came back for more
I kept you so safe and so warm
And you threw me out in the raging storm

Struck by lightning twice
Struck by lightning twice
I don't take nobody's advice
Baby I was struck by lightning twice
When the train starts a-coming
You'd better start running
Struck by lightning twice

Lord I was struck by lightning twice
I was struck by lightning twice
I don't take nobody's advice
I was struck by lightning twice
When the train starts a-coming
You'd better start running
Struck by lightning twice

Spinning round like a tornado
My head way up in the sky
I felt the earth shaken beneath me
I felt like I wanted to die
Well then out of the fog and out of the night
There in the mist in a rainbow of light
The chances are one in a million
That lightning could ever strike twice
