Lyrics for 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 him smile His clothes are dirty, but his- His hands are clean And you're the best thing that he's 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? When he's standing, in front of you Lay, lady, lay Lay across my big brass bed Stay, lady, stay Stay while the night is still ahead I long to see you in the morning light I long to reach for you in the night Stay, lady, stay Stay while the night is still ahead
