fret ************* Intro: (2x) Verse 1: 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 Riff: Verse 2: 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 Bridge: 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 Outro: (Repeat Intro throughout) 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

À propos de la chanson

La chanson raconte l’histoire d’un homme qui se trouve dans un bar et qui est attiré par une femme ayant une forte personnalité, mais il se rend compte qu’il préfère une connexion plus authentique et durable. Au lieu de rechercher des aventures d’un soir, il aspire à quelque chose de plus profond, même s’il ressent la solitude autour de lui. Cette réflexion sur les relations met en avant une préférence pour des moments réels et significatifs plutôt que des échanges superficiels. Le contexte semble être une nuit animée dans un bar où les conversations et les flirtations s’entremêlent, mais le protagoniste choisit de ne pas céder à la tentation d'une romance fugace. Il s'interroge sur la valeur de ce qu'il cherche vraiment en matière de passion et de connexion, ce qui lui fait réaliser la nécessité de prendre du recul avant de s'engager.
