She was a fast machine  

She kept her motor clean  

She was the best damn woman I had ever seen  

She had the sightless eyes  

Telling me no lies  

Knockin' me out with those American thighs  

Taking more than her share  

Had me fighting for air  

She told me to come but I was already there

'Cause the walls start shaking  

The earth was quaking  
    D  
My mind was aching  
                           G  
And we were making it and you -

Working double time  

On the seduction line  

She was one of a kind, she's just mine all mine  

She wanted no applause  

Just another course  

Made a meal out of me and came back for more  

Had to cool me down  

To take another round  

Now I'm back in the ring to take another swing
