Pick ’Em Up And Lay ’Em Down

[Verse 1]
She said the man's going home with me
She told the bar she was taking all bets
Well never trust a woman drinking whiskey
That lights her own cigarette
I started calling her baby, temptation was driving me wild
I think the only thing that saved me
It's just not my style

[Chorus]
'Cause I'm not the kind of man that goes out just looking 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 nothing
I'm as lonely as any man around
I just don't like to pick them up and lay them down
Lay them down
Pick them up and lay them down

[Verse 2]
So we went from bottoms up to coffee cups
A corner booth where the lights got dim
We started talking 'bout getting real close
About how, and about when
It started raining harder and harder
I got up and with a thoughtful smile
I said, "Honey, if that ain't thunder and lightning
It just ain't worthwhile"

[Chorus]
I'm not the kind of man that goes out just looking 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 nothing
I'm as lonely as any man around
I just don't like to pick them up and lay them down
Lay them down, down, down, down, down

[Bridge]
I turned around and gave her one last smile
And thought about one long kiss
But that would be taking it too far baby
And maybe something I couldn't resist

[Chorus]
I'm not the kind of man that goes out just looking 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 nothing
I'm as lonely as any man around
I just don't like to pick them up and lay them down
Lay them down
Pick them up and lay them down
Lay them down

[Outro]
If it ain't about thunder and lightning
It just ain't worthwhile
Lord knows it just ain't my style
Pick them up and lay them down, down, down, down, down
Pick them up and lay them down
