Oh-oh-oh

Oh

...

Don't know what to say

One look and then you blew me away

I'm spiralling all over the place

So lifted, you got me reaching for grace

Body off the ground

Caught me by surprise

Like seeing shooting stars in the sky

There's danger in the dark of your eyes

But something 'bout you brings me to life

Got me here and now

Heart break already hit me once

They say that it won't happen twice

You struck me down like lightning, lightning

You struck me down like lightning, lightning

My stupid heart can't fight it, fight it, uh

So, tell me what you want and I'ma give it to you

Like lightning

Blinded, blinded

You took me down, I don't mind it, mind it

My stupid heart can't fight it, fight it, uh

So, tell me what you want and I'ma give it to you

Like lightning

Electrified with love on the line

So different every touch, every time

Connected by invisible wires

Don't you cut me out, oh-woah

Heart break already hit me once

So, swear that it won't happen twice

You struck me down like lightning, lightning

You struck me down like lightning, lightning

My stupid heart can't fight it, fight it, uh

So, tell me what you want and I'ma give it to you

Like lightning

Blinded, blinded

You took me down, I don't mind it, mind it

My stupid heart can't fight it, fight it, uh

So, tell me what you want and I'ma give it to you

Like lightning

...

Uh-uh, uh, uh, uh-uh

Tell me what you want, tell me what you want

Lightning, lightning

Give it to ya, give it to ya (walk away, I'll follow my soul)

Blinded, blinded

Yeah, tell me what you want, tell me what you want

Li-li-li-li-li-li-lightning, li-li-li-li-li-li-lightning

Li-lightning

Yeah love, lightning

You struck me down like lightning, lightning

You struck me down like lightning, lightning

My stupid heart can't fight it, fight it

So, tell me what you want and I'ma give it to you

Like li-lightning

Blinded, blinded

You took me down, I don't mind it, mind it

My stupid heart can't fight it, fight it, uh

So, tell me what you want and I'ma give it to you

Like lightning
