1. Met a girl in the parking lot
And all I did was say hello
Her pepper spray made it rather hard
For me to walk her home
But I guess that's the way it goes.

[Chorus:]
Tell me again was it love at first sight
When I walked by and you caught my eye
Didn't you know love could shine this bright
Well smile because you're the deer in the headlights.

2.Met a girl with a graceful charm
But when beauty met the beast he froze
Got the sense I was not her type
By black eye and bloody nose
But I guess that's the way it goes.

[Bridge:]
It's suffocating to say
But the female mystique takes my breath away
So give me a smile or give me a sneer
'Cause I'm trying to guess here.

[Coda:]
Tell me again was it love at first sight
When I walked by and you caught my eye
Didn't you know love could shine this bright
If life was a game, you would never play nice
If love was a beam, you'd be blind in both eyes
Put your sunglasses on 'cause you're a deer in the headlights.

You're the deer in the headlights
You're the deer in the headlights.
