Lyrics
Lay Back
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
In this place, I hear desires
The secret of love that lights the fire
We can make it happen
It don't have to be a fantasy
The key to ourselves
There's no law for love to measure
What to call forbidden pleasure
Should we take the chance?
Will we make romance?
Reality, but first we must both come free
Lay back, back, lay back
Lay back, back, lay back
Lay back, back, lay back
On this morning masquerade
I'm not sure of who to blame
Is it jealousy hypnotizing me to change my mind
To stop this feeling deep inside?
Lay back, back, lay back
Lay back, back, lay back
Lay back, back, lay back
If you're afraid of what you might be feeling
Just kick back, relax and let it happen
Lay back, back, lay back
Lay back, back, lay back
Lay back, back, lay back
Lay back, back
We were young, didn't know the rules at the time
Was it a passion or was it just a crime?
Lay back, back
We gotta lay back
Remember, oh no, whoa
Lay back, back
Whoo!
