Lay it on the Line Lyrics
It's the same old story all over again
You turn a lover into just another friend
I wanna love you
I wanna make you mine
Won't you lay it on the line
I'm tired of playin foolish games
I'm tired of all your lies makin me insane
I don't ask for much the truth will do just fine
Won't you lay it on the line
Lay it on the line
Lay it on the line
Lay it on the line
Don't waste my time
You got no right to make me wait
We better talk girl before it gets too late
I never ever thought you could be so unkind
Won't you lay it on the line
Lay it on the line
Lay it on the line
Lay it on the line
Don't waste my time
You know I love you, you know it's true
It's up to you, girl,now what've I got to do
Don't hold me up, girl, don't waste my precious time
Won't you lay it on the line
Lay it on the line
Lay it on the line
Lay it on the line
Don't waste my time
You turn a lover into just another friend
I wanna love you
I wanna make you mine
Won't you lay it on the line
I'm tired of all your lies makin me insane
I don't ask for much the truth will do just fine
Won't you lay it on the line
Lay it on the line
Lay it on the line
Don't waste my time
We better talk girl before it gets too late
I never ever thought you could be so unkind
Won't you lay it on the line
Lay it on the line
Lay it on the line
Don't waste my time
It's up to you, girl,now what've I got to do
Don't hold me up, girl, don't waste my precious time
Won't you lay it on the line
Lay it on the line
Lay it on the line
Don't waste my time

The guy is trying to take the upper hand in the relationship and he's getting impatient as he needs to know what her feelings really are...one of their good songs for sure.
"I don't ask for much, the truth'll do just fine"...What a line...
This is an awsome song. Next to Rush, and maybe Ceap Trick, Triumph is my favorite band
Ha this song is fucking great. Drums, vocals, guitar everything!! So awesome
Triumph was a pretty good band, but this is by far their best song. Not sure why, but the guitar solo in this song has always been one of my favorites. It's a pretty basic solo, but it fits the mood and the emotions of the song so perfectly that it makes me all tingly every time I hear it.
As for the meaning, it's pretty self-explanitory. Do yourself a favor and listen to this song and find out on your own.
Can't agree more with what most have posted...Rik is an inspiration and I highly recommend the Rock n Roll Machine album to anyone who's new to the band. So if you haven't do so the solo in the title song is pretty intense.
Dude's tired of waiting for his coke
One of their best. This song solidified Rik Emmett's place as the lead singer.
