Ruby red... her lips were on fire

A do me with a kiss if you please

Tell me what'chor sweetheart 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'chor made of

'Til you open up your heart to receive

'Cause if the love you got that same old crime

We're talkin' tenderness that's so hard to find

And I'm gettin' behind you



(Lay it down)

Lay it down

Make it alright

(Lay it down)

A lay it down

I'll hold you so tight

(Lay it down)

Yeah... 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'a rubbers you never could keep

From your best friends lover you dreamt about then

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

Gonna lay it down tonight

Gonna come around tonig
