Ricochet (Rick-O-Shay) Lyrics by Teresa Brewer

Teresa

1953

[Verse 1]
They warned me when you kissed me, your love would ricochet
Your lips would find another, and your heart would go astray
Oh, 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
[Verse 2]
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
Oh, you promised you'd be faithful, and you would never stray
Then like a rifle bullet, you began to ricochet
[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
[Verse 3]
When you announced our wedding, you made me mighty proud
I whispered, "Two was company" but you preferred a crowd
Oh, you buzzed around the other girls just like a busy bee
But when ya finished buzzin', cousin, you buzzed right back to me
[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
[Outro]
If you're gonna ricochet, baby, I'm gonna set you free
