On a rainy night, you showed up at my door

Child of the night, down and forlorn

Still I took you in, it's in the stars above

All girls are made the same, they all need a little love



And the magic of the moment

Exploded with desire

When the time is right, the sparks ignite

And set the night on fire



It's chain lightnin', too hot to fight

Hot on the heels of a saturday night

Chain lightnin', out of control

Straight to the heart and down to your soul

Chain lightnin', heavens above

Another day older, still searching for love

Chain lightnin, too hot to fight

And it's hotter than hell, in the heavens tonight



I was livin' hard, I was feelin' down and lonely

When toward the boulevard, a limousine moved slowly

And I noticed in the back seat, a lady wrapped in fur

Her eyes burned through me, and mine stared back at her



And I recognized the moment

As I opened up her door

I knew I would regret it

I've been burned before



(Chorus)



And lord it's so hot when the chain reaction

Is set off with a kiss

And it's so tough when the satisfaction

Is greater than the risk

When you look in her eyes and you realize

This time you can't resist

It's chain lightnin'



And the magic of the moment

Exploded with desire

When the time is right the sparks ignite

And set the night on fire



(Chorus)

Chain lightnin'
