LOVE HIT ME
(Edwards)

as recorded by Maxine Nightingale
1977


When I saw your face, love hit me,
And there was no way I could run,
But my loneliness was over
And my life had just begun!

When I saw your smile, love hit me,
And there was nothing I could say.
I was trapped, I was helpless,
And I just had to stay!

Baby let the love shine on,
Keep it burnin' all night long.
You can really turn me on,
Oh baby you're the only one!

Oh-oh, baby let the love shine on,
Keep it burnin' all night long.
I can feel it comin' on,
Love hit me and it's growin' strong!

Right smack between the eyes, love hit me,
You must have known this lonely girl
Needed lovin' and affection,
That's why I couldn't avoid it!

Standing out a mile, love hit me,
And there was nothing I could say.
Now I believe in miracles,
They happen every day!

Baby let the love shine on,
Keep it burnin' all night long.
You can really turn me on,
Oh baby you're the only one!

Oh-oh, baby let the love shine on,
Keep it burnin' all night long.
I can feel it comin' on,
Love hit me and it's growin' strong!
Oh-oh yeah, yeah!
Oh yeah, oh, oh-oh!

Oh-oh, baby let the love shine on,
Keep it burnin' all night long.
I can feel it comin' on,
Love hit me and it's growin' strong!

Oh-oh, baby let the love shine on,
Keep it burnin' all night long.
You can feel it comin' on,
Oh baby, you're the only one!

Oh-oh, baby let the love shine on,
Keep it burnin' all night long.
You can feel it comin' on,
Oh baby, you're the only one!
Baby let the love shine on...
