Ruby red her lips were on fire

Do me with a kiss if you please

Tell me what your sweet heart desires

Tell me how you want it to be

'Cause if it's love you want

Then you won't mind

A little tenderness

That sometimes is so hard to find

(Lay it down)

Lay it down

Make it alright

(Lay it down)

Lay it down

I'll hold you so tight

(Lay it down)

Oh before the morning light

It's gonna be alright

Oh lay it down

Come and lay it down tonight

Tell me how you feel when we make love

Tell me is it real or just make believe

You will never know what you're made of

Til you open up your heart to recieve

'Cause if the love you got's that same old crime

We're talkin' tenderness

That's so hard to find

And I'm getting behind you

(Lay it down)

Lay it down

Make it alright

(Lay it down)

Lay it down

I'll hold you so tight

(Lay it down)

Oh before the morning light

It's gonna be alright

Oh lay it down

Come and lay it down tonight

Do you remember them times

Talkin' in your sleep

With a pocket full of promise

You never could keep

From your best friend's lover

You dreamt about in bed

When you pullin' up the covers

The voices in your head

Say if you want it bad

Don't ever let it slip away

'Cause if it's love you want and tenderness

Yeah

(Lay it down)

Lay it down

Make it alright

(Lay it down)

Lay it down

I'll hold you so tight

(Lay it down)

Oh before the morning light

It's gonna be alright

Oh lay it down

Come and lay it down tonight

Oh lay it down

Gonna lay it down tonight

Gonna come around tonight

You gotta lay it down
