Ricochet (Rick-O-Shay)Teresa BrewerWritten by Larry Coleman, Joe Darion, and Norman GimbelPeaked at # 2 in 1953They warned me when you kissed me your love would ricochetYour lips would find another and your heart would go astrayI thought that I could hold you with all my many charmsBut 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 freeI knew the day I met you, you had a rovin' eyeI thought that I could hold you, what a fool I was to tryYou promised you'd be faithful and you would never strayThen like a rifle bullet, you began to ricochet CHORUS:When you announced our wedding, you made me mighty proudI whispered "Two was company" but you preferred a crowdYou buzzed around the other girls just like a busy beeAnd when you finished buzzin', cousin, you buzzed right back to me CHORUS: If you're gonna ricochet, baby, I'm gonna set you free
