Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]Listen to me, baby,
you gotta understand
You're old enough to know
the makings of a man
Listen to me, baby,
it's hard to settle down
Am I asking too much
for you to stick around?
[B]Every boy wants a [C#m]girl
he can [F#]trust to [B]the very end
Baby, that's [C#m]you, won't you w[F#]ait?
[B]But till then,
when I see lips begging to be kissed
I can't stop, I can't stop myself
[Em]Like me, I can't get [F#m]there[B][Em]
Like me, I can't get [F#m]there[B]
[D]Nature's takin' over my
one -track mind
Believe it or not,
it's here in my heart all the time
All the girls are sayin'
that you'll end up a fool
For the time being, baby, live by my rules
[B]When I settle [C#m]down,
I want [F#]one baby [B]on my mind
Forgive and for[C#m]get,
and you'll [F#]make up for [B]all lost time
If she's put together fine,
and she's read my mind
I can't stop, I can't stop myself
[Em]Life is, life is a [F#m]jive[B]
[Em]Life is, life is a [F#m]jive
[B]Yeah,[D]
[F#m][Em][F#m][B][Em][F#m]
[B]
There's a chapel in [C#m]the pines,
waiting [F#]for us a[B]round the bend
Nature in your [C#m]mind,
love [F#]forever, [B]but till then
If she gives me a sign
that she wants to make time
I can't stop
I can't stop until
[Em]Riking, riking [F#m]again[B][D]
[B]Rik[Em]ing, riking aga[G]in[F#m]
and again and [B]again
[Em]Riking, riking [F#m]again
You
[B]
