She Cuts Me Down to (Uuuuuuhhhh) Sighs

Lyrics: Ralph Scott  Music: Daniel Leo Simpson

I used to beat my chest, I used to walk real tall

Talk big at the bar like I knew it all

Told the boys no woman’s gonna bend my pride

Gonna keep my boots firm on the wilder side

Then she walked in wearing that slow-burn smile

Looked right through me for a little while

My tongue got tied, my knees went weak

And every tough word I was gonna speak...

Just turned to vapor in the cool night air

Lost in the perfume in her tangled hair

I thought I was a mountain, thought I was wise

Until she cuts me down to (Uuuuhhhh) sighs

Yeah, she cuts me down to sighs.

I had my speech all ready to stand my ground

Say I’m a rolling stone that won't settle down

She didn't raise her voice, didn't start a fight

Just laid one gentle hand in mine real tight

Put her head on my chest, let out a little breath

And put every big idea I had to death

Now the man I thought I was is long gone by

Traded my thunder for a heavy little sigh.

Just turned to vapor in the cool night air

Lost in the perfume in her tangled hair

I thought I was a mountain, thought I was wise

Until she cuts me down to (Uuuuhhh) sighs

Yeah, she cuts me down to sighs.

(Bridge)

Other girls try to chop a man down to size

With sharp little words and cold little lies

But she don't need an axe, she don't need a blade

Just one soft look and the timber gets made...

(Guitar Solo)

It all turns to vapor in the cool night air

Lost in the perfume in her tangled hair

I thought I was a mountain, thought I was wise

Until she cuts me down to (Uuuuhhhh) sighs

Yeah, she cuts me down to sighs.

(Outro)

No big speeches left...

No tough guy line...

Just... (Uuuuhhhh...)

Yeah, she cuts me down to sighs.
