Answer
Hello Patricia,

That's a Kenny Rogers song called "Love Or Something Like It".....

Show me a bar with a good looking woman
Then just get out of my way
Turn on the jukebox, I'll show you a song you should play
Sooner or later a few shots of Bourbon
And I'll think of somethin' to say
Whoa, I can take her or leave her
I'd like to take her away

Liquor and music, a good combination
If you've got love on the brain
I never knew two women who acted the same
Some want a drink first, and some want to just sit and talk
Whoa, oh, it's two in the mornin'
I'm running' and she wants to walk

Something's got a hold on me
It's cheap but it ain't free
Love or somethin' like it's got a hold on me

That's when I asked her, my place or your place
I hope I'm not out of line
I asked the wrong thing, but just the right woman this time
She knew a hotel, she even had a name we could sign
Whoa, oh, the cheaper the grapes are, the sweeter the taste of the wine

Something's got a hold on me
It's cheap but it ain't free
Love or somethin' like it's got a hold on me

Something's got a hold on me
It's cheap but it ain't free
Love or somethin' like it's got a hold on me
Love or somethin' damn near like it's got a hold on me


Glad to be of help. Cheers.......Mel.

I have been hooked on Country music since first hearing Jim Reeves in the late 50s. Two of the greatest nights of my life were seeing The Mavericks and Reba McEntire live in London. I am more at home with traditional Country music, but am happy to try and help with any questions relating to songs up to 2000. Please note that I DO NOT have the same knowledge about country music videos or singers private lives.
