Ruby red... her lips were on fire
A 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'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 of promises 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 tonight
You gotta lay it down
