She said the man's goin' home with me

She told the bar she was takin' all bets

Well never trust a woman drinkin' whiskey

That lights her own cigarette

I started callin' her baby, temptation was drivin' me wild

I think the only thing that saved me

It's just not my style



'Cause I'm not the kind of man that goes out just lookin' for a woman

I like the price you pay to keep passion on solid ground

I'm not the kind of man that holds out on a need for nothin'

I'm as lonely as any man around

I just don't like to pick 'em up and lay 'em down

Lay 'em down

Pick 'em up and lay 'em down



So we went from bottoms up to coffee cups

A corner booth where the lights got dim

We started talkin' 'bout gettin' real close

About how, and about when

It started rainin' harder and harder

I got up and with a thoughtful smile

I said, "Honey, if that ain't thunder and lightnin'

It just ain't worthwhile"



I'm not the kind of man that goes out just lookin' for a woman

I like the price you pay to keep passion on solid ground

I'm not the kind of man that holds out on a need for nothin'

I'm as lonely as any man around

I just don't like to pick 'em up and lay 'em down

Lay 'em down, down, down, down, down



I turned around and gave her one last smile

And thought about one long kiss

But that would be takin' it too far baby

And maybe something I couldn't resist



I'm not the kind of man that goes out just lookin' for a woman

I like the price you pay to keep passion on solid ground

I'm not the kind of man that holds out on a need for nothin'

I'm as lonely as any man around

I just don't like to pick 'em up and lay 'em down

Lay 'em down

Pick 'em up and lay 'em down

Lay 'em down



If it ain't about thunder and lightnin'

It just ain't worthwhile

Lord knows it just ain't my style

Pick 'em up and lay 'em down, down, down, down, down

Pick 'em up and lay 'em down
