Love At First Sight Lyrics

See the lovers all gone crazy
looking for romance it seems
many sleepless nights will follow
some may lose but some succeed

Love at first sight
what they want is...
love at first sight

Make a play of lust intention
only just one thing in mind
make a slip could be forever
wedding bells, the shotgun kind

Love at first sight
what they want is...
love at first sight

Mouse takes the bait
so soon as he leaves his seat
there's no escape, very soon their eyes will meet

Love at first sight etc.

Take your partner to surrender
then your misdemeanour's done
sacrifice of maidenhood
but little boys must have their fun

Love at first sight.

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

A self explanatory love song this is. It's incredibly catchy...just like most of the songs on Black Sea.

it's more of a lust song than a love song. consider the following: "many sleepless nights will follow" (bashing the bishop) "wedding bells the shotgun kind" (shotgun wedding: a marriage that usually results from a pregnancy, usually a woman's) "sacrifice of maidenhood" (maidenhead: virginity) dirty DIRTY song, but still real swell
