No Simple Machine Lyrics - Old 97's

He said "Can I buy you a drink?" 

What he meant was, "Can I buy you?" 

Yeah his eyes were pits of despair 

But his accent recalled the bayou 

Oh, and women go crazy for guys who talk funny 

And men who treat them mean 

Aw, but you deserve better than that, my friend 

You are no simple machine 

You're not a girl who is easily swayed 

By a quick-witted, sure-footed dancer 

Yeah, your heart is as large as your great big brain 

And sometimes there is no answer 

You had your eyes closed, and he saw you comin' 

His good one's the one side you'd seen 

Aw, but he tried to break you 

He didn't realize 

You are no simple machine 

Just give me one night 

To wipe the slate clean 

Yeah, It's gonna take all night 

You are no simple machine 

He said, "Who's this fool on your arm?" 

And I said, "Let me at him" 

Oh, his bell begs to get rung 

And his nose begs get flattened 

Ah, you kept your composure 

I'll give you credit 

You led me away from that scene 

He mighta had you, but he never had you 

You are no simple machine 

Just give me one night 

To wipe the slate clean 

Yeah, It's gonna take all night 

Aw, 'cause you are no simple machine 

Just give me one night 

To wipe the slate clean 

Yeah, it's gonna take all night 

'Cause you are no simple machine 

Aw yeah, you are no simple machine 

That's right
