I've been down this road before
I know it very well
And I just can't believe I've been struck
I didn't see it (comin')
I was (blindfolded)
I'm caught up in (collision)
And now I'm so done
You crept up like a spider
I got caught in your web
There was no way to escape
I tried to switch (my lanes)
But then I hit (my brakes)
Sparks turned into (flames)
I shoulda stopped at the red light 'cause

Now I'm like a deer caught in headlights
Ugh, he hit me with his love, love, love, love, love
He hit me with his (love)
And now I'm in love, love, love, love
Got me caught in a wreck, I'm a mess
Got me caught in a wreck, I'm a mess
Got me caught in a wreck
Somebody call the paramedics (love)
He hit me with his love, love, love, love

I was creepin' the road
Just knew I had control
So how did I end up gettin' hit
I had on my (belt)
I checked it (myself)
So how in the (world) did I get caught
I had the right of way
I saw the sign you disobeyed
(It was your fault)
I can't believe the way you wrecked into my heart
I think I should sue ya
I shoulda stopped at the red light 'cause

Now I'm like a deer caught in headlights
Ugh, he hit me with his love, love, love, love, love
He hit me with his (love)
And now I'm in love, love, love, love
Got me caught in a wreck, I'm a mess
Got me caught in a wreck, I'm a mess
Got me caught in a wreck
Somebody call the paramedics (love)
He hit me with his love, love, love, love

You caught me by surprise
I can't believe that I'm falling for this guy
Somebody call the cops 'cause I'm falling for that guy
You caught me by surprise
I can't believe that I'm falling for this guy
Somebody call the cops 'cause I'm falling for that guy

I shoulda stopped at the red light 'cause

Now I'm like a deer caught in headlights
Ugh, he hit me with his love, love, love, love, love
He hit me with his (love)
And now I'm in love, love, love, love
Got me caught in a wreck, I'm a mess
Got me caught in a wreck, I'm a mess
Got me caught in a wreck
Somebody call the paramedics (love)
He hit me with his love

He crashed into my heart
He crashed into my heart
Somebody call the paramedics (love)
He hit me with his love
He crashed into my heart
He crashed into my heart
Somebody call the paramedics (love)
He hit me with his love, love, love, love, love
