Lay, lady lay
Come lay across my big brass bed
And stay, lady stay
Stay while the night
The night is still here

Whatever colors you have in your mind
I'll show them to you
And you can see them shine

Lay, lady lay
Come lay across my big brass bed
And stay, lady stay
Stay with your man
Just a little while

His clothes are dirty
But his hands are clean
And you're the best thing
He's ever seen
And stay, lady stay
Stay with you man
Just a little while
Til the break of day

Come on, let me see you
Make him smile
Why wait any longer
For the world to begin
You can have your cake
And eat it too
Why wait any longer
For the one that you love
Why he's standing right in front of you

Come lay, lady lay
Come lay across my big brass bed
And stay, lady stay
Stay while the night is still ahead
