They warned me when you kissed me your love would ricochet
Your lips would find another and your heart would go astray
I thought that I could hold you with all my many charms
But then one day you ricocheted to someone else`s arms
CHORUS:
And baby
I don`t want a ricochet romance, I don`t want a ricochet love
If you`re careless with your kisses, find another turtle dove
I can`t live on ricochet romance, no, no not me
If you`re gonna ricochet, baby, I`m gonna set you free
I knew the day I met you, you had a rovin` eye
I thought that I could hold you, what a fool I was to try
You promised you`d be faithful and you would never stray
Then like a rifle bullet, you began to ricochet
CHORUS:
When you announced our wedding, you made me mighty proud
I whispered `Two was company` but you preferred a crowd
You buzzed around the other girls just like a busy bee
And when you finished buzzin`, cousin, you buzzed right back to me
