Measure Of A Man Lyrics - 1996

[ Buy Measure Of A Man ]

(robert ellis orrall/angelo)

Met her on monday down at the blue star
Where we all hang out
I picked her up at work tuesday afternoon
That night we were rocking the town
Wednesday, thursday, time sure flies
When you're having a ball
A perfect match, no strings attached
By friday we'd done it all

Saturday night under the stars
Huggin' and a-kissin' in the back of her car
I said, "ain't this the life, what could go wrong?"
When all of a sudden she dropped the love bomb

Those three little words
Set off a chain reaction like i'd never seen
I was shakin' in my boots
When she lit the fuse i was blown to smithereens
5, 4, 3, 2, 1, it hit me like a ton of bricks
She'd got a mind to cross that line
I shoulda known it would come to this

Saturday night under the stars
Huggin' and a-kissin' in the back of her car
I said, "ain't this the life, what could go wrong?"
When all of a sudden she dropped the love bomb

I was keeping it loose, taking it slow
Playing it cool, but wouldn't you know

Saturday night under the stars
Huggin' and a-kissin' in the back of her car
I said, "ain't this the life, what could go wrong?"
When all of a sudden she dropped the love bomb
When all of a sudden she dropped the love bomb
