Lyrics:

From Chris LeDoux's 'LIVE' 1997

Say, I gotta tell you, uhhh, I feel like one
of the luckiest guys in the world.
Uhhhh, cause when I fell in love with a girl,
she fell in love with me back and
we’ve been married for twenty-five years now.
And I’m sure there are some young guys out there thinkin,
“Twenty-five years. Man, doesn’t that get kind of old?”
Well if you got a woman like mine, man,
you can still feel the gravitational pull.

Music starts…

Verse 1:
It’s a source of speculation, morning, noon, and night,
About who is, and who ain’t, which way is wrong or right.
Well, I’d describe the feelin, but, shoot, I don’t have a clue.
And if the truth were known darling, well, neither do you.

For a long time now, I’ve been trying to figure out this ole rig-a-ma-roll.
You know and it seems to me there ain’t nothing no where
That’s been written in stone about the how or why love can turn a body upside down
It’s all mud, guts, and barbeque sauce, and finger-paintin’ the town. Well…

Chorus:
It’s the strongest attraction in the universe.
Ain’t nothing better, baby ain’t nothing worse.
Study after study nobody understands
The gravitational pull between a woman and a man.

Verse 2:
Well it will lift you up or knock you down, take away your common sense.
It’ll plant your feet on solid ground; it will fill your heart with the consequence.
And her words will leave you thirsty, for a drink from her deep well.
And its tears are gonna burn you like lava, and make you feel like hell.

Chorus

Verse 3:
So girl when it comes to you and me and the kind of love that we fell in,
Well, I don’t want no Betty Crocker without a dash of Mae West thrown in!
I wanna go outside and dance with you bare-footed in the pouring rain,
With the lightning crashing all around, people saying we’ve gone insane.

Chorus, twice.

I don’t understand it, but after 25 years, I gotta say, I still like it!
You will too!
