First Verse:
They warned me when you kissed me,

Your love would ricochet,

Your lips would find another,

And your heart would go astray.

 

Second Verse:

I thought that I could hold you,

With all my many charms,

But then one day you ricocheted,

To someone else's arms,  And Baby,

 

Chorus:

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 don't live on ricochet romance!  No!  No!  Not me!
If you're gonna ricochet Baby,  I'm gonna set you free!

(repeat chorus)

 

Ending:

If you're gonna ricochet Baby,  I'm gonna set you free!
