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.
Stay lady stay…stay with your man a while.
His clothes are dirty but his hands are clean. And you’re the best thing that he’s ever seen.
Stay lady stay…stay while the night is still ahead.
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.
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.
