"Lay Your Lovin' On Me" lyrics

"Lay Your Lovin' On Me"

Lay it on me, babe (ooh)
Lay it on me, babe (yeah)
Keep on layin' it on me, baby (yeah baby)
Lay it on me, babe (don't stop)
Lay it on me, babe
Keep on layin' 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 layin' it on me, baby (lay your lovin' me)
That's all you gotta do, girl (lay it on me, baby)
Oh-oh-oh-oh, lay it on me, baby (lay your lovin' on me)
Just keep on layin' 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 lovin' on me
Lay your lovin' on me
Keep on layin' it on me, baby
Lay your lovin' on me
Lay your lovin' on me
Keep on layin' it on me, baby)

There was a time
When I was thrown up in the night life
Mr. Big Time Spendin'
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 lovin' on me)
That's what ya do for me, girl (lay your lovin' on me)
(Just keep on layin' it on me, baby)
When I go you wanna call you want me home, girl
(Lay your lovin' on me, lay your lovin' on me)
(Just keep on layin' it on me, baby)

I don't just wanna go down now if the sun never shine again, keep lovin'
(Lay your lovin' on me, lay your lovin' on me)
(Just keep on layin' 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 lovin' on me, lay your lovin' on me) To give you up now
Just keep layin' it on me, baby
Lay, lady, lay, lay, lay
(Lay your lovin' on me, lay your lovin' on me)
(Just keep on layin' 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 lovin' on me, lay your lovin' on me)
(Just keep on layin' it on me, baby) Spreading love, spreading love all around

(Lay your lovin' on me, lay your lovin' on me) Lay-lady-lay, lay-lady-lay
(Just keep on layin' it on me, baby) Ooh
(Lay your lovin' on me, lay your lovin' 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 lovin' on me, lay your lovin' on me)
