Lay Lady Lay [alternate lyrics] Lyrics
Lay, lady, lay
Lay across my big brass bed
Lay, lady, lay
Lay across my big brass bed
Whatever colors you have in your mind
I show them to you and you'll see them shine
Lay, lady, lay
Lay across my big brass bed
Forget this dance, let's go upstairs
Let's take a chance, who really cares
Why don't you know you got nothing to prove
It's all in your eyes and the way that you move
Forget this dance, let's go upstairs
Why wait any longer, for no need to complain
You can have love, but you might lose it
Why run any longer when you're running in vain
You can have the truth, but you've got to choose it
Stay, lady, stay
Stay with your man a while
'Til the break of day
Let me see you make him smile
I long to see you in the morning light
I long to hold you in the night
Stay, lady, stay
Stay with your man a while
Lay, lady, lay
Lay across my big brass bed
Lay across my big brass bed
Lay, lady, lay
Lay across my big brass bed
Whatever colors you have in your mind
I show them to you and you'll see them shine
Lay across my big brass bed
Forget this dance, let's go upstairs
Let's take a chance, who really cares
Why don't you know you got nothing to prove
It's all in your eyes and the way that you move
Why wait any longer, for no need to complain
You can have love, but you might lose it
Why run any longer when you're running in vain
You can have the truth, but you've got to choose it
Stay with your man a while
'Til the break of day
Let me see you make him smile
I long to see you in the morning light
I long to hold you in the night
Stay, lady, stay
Stay with your man a while
Lay across my big brass bed
