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
