Lyrics
[Verse 1]
If you're ready, I'm willing and able
I'm gonna lay my cards out on the table
'Cause you're mine and I'm yours for the taking
Right now the rules we've made are meant for breaking
[PreChorus]
What you get ain't always what you see
But satisfaction is guaranteed
What you give is always what you need
If you want me to lay my hands on you
[Chorus]
Lay your hands on me, lay your hands on me (Lay your hands)
Lay your hands on me, lay your hands on me (Lay your hands on me)
Lay your hands on me, lay your hands on me
Lay your hands on me, lay your hands on me
[Verse 2]
I'm a fighter, a poet and a preacher
I've been to school, baby, I've been the teacher
If you show me how to get up off the ground
I'll show you how to fly and never come back down
[PreChorus]
Everything you want is what I need
Satisfaction is guaranteed
The ride never comes for free
But if you want me to lay my hands on you
[Chorus]
Lay your hands on me, lay your hands on me
Lay your hands on me, lay your hands on me (Lay your hands on me)
Lay your hands on me, lay your hands on me
Lay your hands on me, lay your hands on me (Lay your hands on me)
Lay your hands on me, lay your hands on me
Lay your hands on me, lay your hands on me
[Bridge]
Don't you know I only aim to please?
So if you want me to lay my hands on you
Lay your hands on me
Lift me up, take me high
Lift me up
[Chorus]
(Lay your hands on me) Lay your hands on me, lay your hands on me
Lay your hands on me, lay your hands on me (Lay your hands on me)
Lay your hands on me, lay your hands on me
Lay your hands on me, lay your hands on me
[Chorus]
Lay your hands on me, lay your hands on me
Lay your hands on me, lay your hands on me
Lay your hands on me, lay your hands on me
Lay your hands on me, lay your hands on me
Lay your hands on me, lay your hands on me
Lay your hands on me, lay your hands on me
Lay your hands on me, lay your hands on me
Lay your hands on me, lay your hands on me
Lay your hands on me, lay your hands on me
Lay your hands on me, lay your hands on me
