Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Lay, lady, lay
Lay across my big brass bed
[Verse 2]
Lay, lady, lay
Lay across my big brass bed
[Verse 3]
Whatever colors you have in your mind
I'll show them to you
And you'll see them shine
[Verse 4]
Stay, lady, stay
Stay with your man awhile
[Verse 5]
Until the break of day
Let me see you make him smile
[Verse 6]
Your clothes are dirty but your, your hands are clean
And I'm the best thing that you ever seen
[Verse 7]
Stay, lady, stay
Stay with your man awhile
[Verse 8]
Why wait any longer for the world to begin
You can have your cake and eat it too
[Verse 9]
Why wait any longer for the one you love
When he's standing in front of you
[Verse 10]
Lay, lady, lay
Lay across my big brass bed
[Verse 11]
Stay, lady, stay
Stay with your man awhile
[Verse 12]
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
[Verse 13]
So maybe I'll stay
Stay while the night is still ahead
