Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Gonna put your loving in the layaway
Coming back to get it on another day, yeah
Don't have to worry 'bout it getting away, yeah yeah
Well, your love is safe in the layaway
[Verse 2]
Hey, hey, hey, hey, layaway (In the layaway)
Everybody's got someone they wanna keep safe away
(Keep safe away)
Everybody needs someone to love on a rainy day
(On a rainy way)
Put your love in the layaway (In the layaway)
[Verse 3]
Well, I got to hold, hold on to my receipt
(Keep on holding on) Girl, to redeem your love
That's exactly what I need
(Keep on holding on)
Your love and kisses makes me feel complete
(Keep on holding on)
Girl, I've been crazy since the day I saw you
Girl, my heart been beating for you
And I ain't gonna let you get away
Girl, I'm going straight down to the man
[Verse 4]
Gonna put it in the layaway, layaway
Gonna put it in the layaway, layaway
Gonna put it in the layaway, layaway
Gonna put it in the layaway, layaway
[Verse 5]
I'm gonna put it in the layaway
(Gonna put it in the layaway)
Coming back to get it on another day
(On another day)
Don't have to worry about it getting away
(In the layaway)
Well, your love is safe in my layaway
(In the layaway)
[Verse 6]
Hey
Oh yeah
Yeah, oh yeah
[Verse 7]
Girl, I've been crazy since the day I saw you
My heart keeps beating for you
I ain't gonna let you get away
You ain't gonna get away
You ain't gonna get away
No, no, no, no, no
[Verse 8]
I'm gonna put it in the layaway, layaway
Gonna put it in the layaway, layaway
Gonna put it in the layaway, layaway
Layaway, layaway
[Verse 9]
Yeah, gonna put it in the layaway
(Gonna put it in the layaway)
Come back and get it on another day
(On another day)
Come back to get it on a rainy day
(On a rainy day)
I got to put your love in the layaway
(In the layaway)
Yeah, hey, in the layaway
(In the layaway)
Ooh, coming back to get it
