Lay, lady, lay, lay across my big brass bed
Lay, lady, lay, lay across my big 1 bed
Whatever colors you have in your mind
I'll show them to you and you'll see them shine

Lay, 2 , lay, lay across my big brass bed
Stay, lady, stay, stay with your man 3
Until the break of day, let me see you make him smile
His 4 are dirty but his hands are clean
And you're the best thing that he's 5 seen

Stay, lady, stay, stay with your man awhile
Why wait any 6 for the world to begin
You can have your cake and eat it too
Why wait any longer for the one you 7
When he's standing in front of you

Lay, lady, lay, lay 8 my big brass bed
Stay, lady, stay, stay while the night is still 9
I long to see you in the morning light
I long to reach for you in the night
Stay, lady, stay, stay while the night is still ahead
