Eb                      Eb7            Ab         Eb
They warned me when you kissed me your love would ricochet
     Bb                                               Eb
Your lips would find another and your heart would go astray
Eb                     Eb7            Ab         Eb
I thought that I could hold you with all my many charms
    Bb                                            Eb
But then one day you ricocheted to someone else's arms

[Chorus]

Bb
And baby
Eb                                              Bb
I don't want a ricochet romance, I don't want a ricochet love
                                                  Eb
If you're careless with your kisses, find another turtle dove
                                  Eb7        Ab
I can't live on ricochet romance, no, no not me
          Adim7  Eb/Bb    C7    Fm7       Bb      Eb
If you're gonna ricochet, baby, I'm gonna set you free!

[Verse 2]

Eb               Eb7          Ab           Eb
I knew the day I met you, you had a rovin' eye
  Bb                                                  Eb
I thought that I could hold you, what a fool I was to try
    Eb                Eb7          Ab              Eb
You promised you'd be faithful and you would never stray
     Bb                                    Eb
Then like a rifle bullet, you began to ricochet

[Chorus]

Bb
And baby
Eb                                              Bb
I don't want a ricochet romance, I don't want a ricochet love
                                                  Eb
If you're careless with your kisses, find another turtle dove
                                  Eb7        Ab
I can't live on ricochet romance, no, no not me
          Adim7  Eb/Bb    C7    Fm7       Bb      Eb
If you're gonna ricochet, baby, I'm gonna set you free!

[Verse 3]

Eb                     Eb7          Ab             Eb
When you announced our wedding, you made me mighty proud
  Bb                                              Eb
I whispered "Two was company" but you preferred a crowd
                      Eb7              Ab          Eb
You buzzed around the other girls just like a busy bee
    Bb                                                          Eb
And when you finished buzzin', cousin, you buzzed right back to me

[Chorus]

Bb
And baby
Eb                                              Bb
I don't want a ricochet romance, I don't want a ricochet love
                                                  Eb
If you're careless with your kisses, find another turtle dove
                                  Eb7        Ab
I can't live on ricochet romance, no, no not me
          Adim7  Eb/Bb    C7    Fm7       Bb      Eb   Eb7
If you're gonna ricochet, baby, I'm gonna set you free!

[Outro]
Ab        Adim7 Eb/Bb     C7    Fm7       Bb      Eb
If you're gonna ricochet, baby, I'm gonna set you free!
