Lay Lady, lay
Lay, lady, lay, lay across my big brass bedLay, lady, lay, lay across my big brass bedWhatever colors you have in your mindI’ll show them to you and you’ll see them shine
Lay, lady, lay, lay across my big brass bedStay, lady, stay, stay with your man awhileUntil the break of day, let me see you make him smileHis clothes are dirty but his hands are cleanAnd you’re the best thing that he’s ever seen
Stay, lady, stay, stay with your man awhileWhy wait any longer for the world to beginYou can have your cake and eat it tooWhy wait any longer for the one you loveWhen he’s standing in front of you
Lay, lady, lay, lay across my big brass bedStay, lady, stay, stay while the night is still aheadI long to see you in the morning lightI long to reach for you in the nightStay, lady, stay, stay while the night is still ahead
