(Dave Loggins)



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 lonel
