Lay It On My Lady (What's On My Mind)

(album: The Uptown Poker Club - 1973)

Now when I'm down and all dejected and everything's going wrong
I just call upon my mem'ry and start dialing on the phone
Cause she knows when I'm in need of someone to lend an ear
To listen to the problems that my mind can only hear
And all I gotta do is let her know and she'll be there
And I just lay it on my lady what's on my mind
And I just lay it on my lady what's on my mind
Lay it on

Well she can talk me into seeing anything I want to see
And build me up to be anyone I want to be
She whispers in my ear the things I like to hear her say
And she turns all my blue Mondays into sunshiny days
And every time I need her I can always find a way
To just lay it on my lady what's on my mind
I just lay it on my lady what's on my mind

Well I can hide myself inside her arms and forget what's on my mind
Cause my troubles seem so far away that I lose all track of time
Nothing seems to matter anymore
Least not half as much as it used to mean before
Cause when she's here my worries seem to walk right out the door
And I just lay it on my lady what's on my mind
Yes I just lay it on my lady what's on my mind
Lay it on my lady what's on my min
