Ricochet (Rick-O-Shay)

Written by Larry Coleman, Joe Darion, and Norman Gimbel

Peaked at # 2 in 1953
|
|
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 rovin' 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 buzzin', cousin, you buzzed right back to me
|
|
CHORUS:
|
|
If you're gonna ricochet, baby, I'm gonna set you free
|
