Lay, lady lay
Come lay across my big brass bed
And stay, lady stay
Stay while the night,
The night is still here
Whatever colors you have in your mind
I'll show them to you
And you can see them shine
Lay, lady lay
Come lay across my big brass bed
And stay, lady stay
Stay with your man
Just a little while
His clothes are dirty
But his hands are clean
And you're the best thing
He's ever seen
And stay, lady stay
Stay with you man
Just a little while
Til the break of day
Come on, let me see you
Make him smile
Why wait any longer
For the world to begin
You can have your cake
And eat it too
Why wait any longer
For the one that you love
Why he's standing right in front of you
Come lay, lady lay
Come lay across my big brass bed
And stay, lady stay
Stay while the night is still ahead...
