[Verse 1: Peter Cetera & Robert Lamm, Peter Cetera]

I thought that you thought

That we thought we were bound to each other

But it's not that way

We don't care about one another

Thunder and lightning

Showed me all the threats you weren't saying

Thunder and lightning

Gonna throw it all away

[Verse 2: Peter Cetera & Robert Lamm, Peter Cetera]

Thunder and lightning

And you touched my life without warning

Oh, how I loved you

You loved me, now, what are we thinking?

Thunder and lightning

Will burn you just as sure as I'm singing

Thunder and lightning

Didn't know our love would end this way

[Bridge: Robert Lamm]

You got your way, we're to blame

But that's okay

Another time, another place

It's one more game

After all is said and done

We'll overcome

The psychological setback

Of a time on the run

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3: Peter Cetera & Robert Lamm, Peter Cetera]

It hurt to see you

Play games that were so one-sided

I dealt the cards but

The aces were in your back pocket

Thunder and lightning

Won't let you alone 'til I'm paying

Thunder and lightning

Didn't know our love could end this way
