Lay Your Lovin' On Me

(الألبوم: The Poet - 1981)

Lay it on me, babe (ooh)
Lay it on me, babe (yeah)
Keep on laying it on me, baby (yeah baby)
Lay it on me, babe (don't stop)
Lay it on me, babe
Keep on laying it on me, baby

There was a time
When I thought I had the world on a string
But the only thing I had in my possession
Was all built around, built around materialistic things
You can't miss what you never, never, never had
So why go around pretending
That you're happy when you know that you're sad?

Keep on laying it on me, baby (lay your loving me)
That's all you gotta do, girl (lay it on me, baby)
Oh-oh-oh-oh, lay it on me, baby (lay your loving on me)
Just keep on laying it on me, baby

But then you came along bringing
Bringing sweet love, sweet love, sweet love to me
Oh, then I knew, I knew I was missing
True love I needed desperately, hey

(Lay your loving on me
Lay your loving on me
Keep on laying it on me, baby
Lay your loving on me
Lay your loving on me
Keep on laying it on me, baby)

There was a time
When I was thrown up in the night life
Mr. Big Time Spending
Oh, I must have been the world's greatest pretender
But when the money went
I know y'all know how the crown can get thin
But it was all because of your love
Your love that got me started again

So keep on (lay your loving on me)
That's what ya do for me, girl (lay your loving on me)
(Just keep on laying it on me, baby)
When I go you wanna call you want me home, girl
(Lay your loving on me, lay your loving on me)
(Just keep on laying it on me, baby)

I don't just wanna go down now if the sun never shine again, keep loving
(Lay your loving on me, lay your loving on me)
(Just keep on laying it on me, baby) You see, you see, you see I'd be a, I'd be a, I'd be a fool
(Lay your loving on me, lay your loving on me) To give you up now
Just keep laying it on me, baby
Lay, lady, lay, lay, lay
(Lay your loving on me, lay your loving on me)
(Just keep on laying it on me, baby)

You see what I like about you, girl
You build me up, you build me up when I'm falling down
(Lay your loving on me, lay your loving on me)
(Just keep on laying it on me, baby) Spreading love, spreading love all around

(Lay your loving on me, lay your loving on me) Lay-lady-lay, lay-lady-lay
(Just keep on laying it on me, baby) Ooh
(Lay your loving on me, lay your loving on me)
Do that for me, girl
And I'll definitely promise you one thing
I'll give you what you want when you want it where you want it and how you want it
But every doggone time that you feel you need my love, oh
Keep on
(Lay your loving on me, lay your loving on me)
