Was the same kind we always drank
Never knew it to go to my head like it did
When you were pourin' more than you usually do
How'd you know that I need an excuse
To say the words I never thought I'd use 'til I did
Oh, what are the chances that your heart was thinkin'
What my heart was thinkin' when we got to drinkin'
We caught lighting in a bottle last night
You could feel the heat comin' off the vine
Fallin' for the first time, yeah, it just can't happen twice
We caught lightning in a bottle last night
I'd have to say the odds are in our favor
A little too early or a little bit later
And we might've missed the moment and the magic that came with it
I have a hard time believin' that it was so easy
But you made it easy
We caught lighting in a bottle last night
You could feel the heat comin' off the vine
Fallin' for the first time, yeah, it just can't happen twice
We caught lightning in a bottle last night
Ooh, yeah
Oh, what are the chances that your heart was thinkin'
What my heart was thinkin'
When we caught lighting in a bottle last night
Oh, you could feel the heat comin' off the vine
Fallin' for the first time, yeah, it just can't happen twice
We caught lightning in a bottle last night
We caught lightning in a bottle last night
