"The Little Things" lyrics

She said, "We could just sleep together"
There'd be nothing wrong
Yeah, we could just hold each other with our clothes on
I went to answer
"I don't think we should"
Then I heard a voice say, "Yeah, I guess we could"

She kissed me lightly
Said, "You know sometimes when you're down
It's the little things that count
It's the little things that count
It's the little things."

She smiled and said something stupid
But I didn't hear a sound
She put on her lipstick, and I watched her mouth
She said it was too late
And I shouldn't try to drive
She unbuttoned my shirt and whispered, "Just close your eyes

Let me take your boots off
You know, sometimes, when your luck's run out
It's the little things that count
It's the little things that count
It's the little things"

Her dress rode lightly as she walked
Then she pulled the covers down

I was so dry
She held the water glass to my lips
The polish on her nails was chipped
She said she had a boyfriend I reminded her of
His hair was the same muddy brown
She stuck her tongue in my mouth
