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 roving 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 buzzing, cousin, you buzzed right back to me
[Chorus]
If you're gonna ricochet, baby, I'm gonna set you free
