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 



Struck by lightning twice 

I was struck by lightning twice 

I don't take nobody's advice 

Struck by lightning twice 

When the rain starts comin' 

Better start runnin' 

Struck by lightning 

Struck by lightning 

Struck by lightning twice
