Pick `em Up And Lay `em Down Lyrics

(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 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
