[Chorus]
Flat out , laid me down
Like dough beneath a rolling pin
No, I never met the likes of her
I knew I never would again
Heart don’t fail me now
Don’t gimme’ more than I can take
Flat out, laid me down
Enough to take my breath away

[Verse 1]
Ain’t set much aside
To put a roof above our heads
Made a little bit a’ money mopping tar
All wadded up it beside the bed
We took the old Ranchero north
Wasn’t in the mood to wait
We said our vows in a Reno chapel
On a cold November day

[Chorus]
Flat out , laid me down
Like dough beneath a rolling pin
No, I never met the likes of her
I knew I never would again
Heart don’t fail me now
Don’t gimme’ more than I can take
Flat out, laid me down
Enough to take my breath away

[Verse 2]
She’s got her work cut out for sure
Aims to make a man of me
It takes a woman’s touch
To train a monkey how to wear a leash
But every night I get to come back home’s
Another that I’m truly blessed
I need no proof to show me where I stand
Or put her lovin’ to the test

[Chorus]
Flat out , laid me down
Like dough beneath a rolling pin
No, I never met the likes of her
I knew I never would again
Heart don’t fail me now
Don’t gimme’ more than I can take
Flat out, laid me down
Enough to take my breath away
