Show me a bar with a good lookin woman
Then just get out of my way
Show me the jukebox, I'll tell you a song you should play
Sooner a later a few shots of bourbon
And I'll think of somethin to say
Bhoa, I can take her or leave her
But I like to take her away

Liquor and music, a good combination
If you've got love on the brain
I never knew two women who acted the same
Some want a drink first
And some want to just sit and talk
Whoa, oh, it's two in the morning
I'm running and she wants to walk

Something's got a hold on me
It's cheap but it ain' free
Love or somethin like it's got a hold on me

That's when I asked her
My place or your place
I hope I'm not out of line
I asked the wrong thing
But just the right woman this time
Cause she knew a hotel
She even had a name we could sign
Whoa, oh, the cheaper the grapes are
The sweeter the taste of the wine

Something's got a hold on me
It's cheap but it ain' free
Love or somethin like it's got a hold on me

Something's got a hold on me
It's cheap but it ain't free
Love or somethin like it's got a hold on me
Love or somethin damn near like it's got a hold on me
