Lay Lady Lay |
| 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’ll show them to you and you’ll see them shine |
| Lay lady lay, lay across my big brass bed |
| Stay lady stay, stay with your man awhile |
| Until the break of day, let me see you make 'em smile |
| Your clothes are dirty but your hands are clean |
| And I’m the best thing that you’ve ever seen |
| (Stay lady stay, stay with your man awhile.) |
| 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 you love? |
| I am standin' in front of you.) |
| Lay lady lay, lay across my big brass bed |
| Stay lady stay, stay with your man awhile |
| You long to see me in the morning light |
| You long to reach for me in the night |
| (Stay lady stay, stay while the night is still ahead.) |
| So maybe I’ll stay, stay while the night is still ahead |
| (Stay lady stay, stay while the night is still ahead.) |
| So maybe I’ll stay |
| : stay while the night is still ahead |
