The switch

I was a eatin'
Like a horse
And a workin'
Like a dog
I was a rollin'
Like a storm
And a sleepin'
Like a rock
But she flipped me
Like a switch
And that's when the gloves came off
She never guessed
Those workin' hands
Could ever seem so soft
I was a floppin'
Like a fish
I was cocky
Like a roo
I was a livin'
Like the wind
I was plain
Cucumber cool
But she flipped me
Like a pancake
And I ain't never been the same
Who would have thunk it
You gotta love it
She's sweet as marmalade
Sometimes a little love is all it takes
To turn a calloused man and change his ways
Sometimes a little smile or a wave
Leads to a lifetime together
I was a driftin'
Like a leaf
I was a stubborn
Like a mule
I was a ridgid
Like a fence
I was a rustin
Like a tool
But she hit me
Like a freight train
Didn't see it comin' on
Now I'm whistlin' right along with her
Yea, she's my favorite song
I was a tickin'
Like a clock
I was a beatin'
Like a drum
I was out there
Off the map
I was a funny
Like ol Doug 
But she changed me
Like a flat
Now I'm back like gravel roads
A little dusty, a little trusty
But always ready to go
Sometimes a little love is all it takes
To turn a calloused man and change his ways
Sometimes it's just a touch that breaks
Every chain you done put on
I was a quiet
Kind of man
Kept my feelin's
Low 
Never reached
For nothin' high
Never really
Learned the ropes 
But she held me
Like a secret
And now I can't tell you enough 
Sometimes all it takes
Is just a little love
