Too many times I didn't try to hold ya
I never kept the promises I told ya
Now it's time I give in I know
To the words that I should have said long ago

Lady, lay down beside me
Wrap all your love around me
I need you to stay
Don't turn away from me now
Lady, lay down

You've been alone, I guess
I've known about it
You gave me love and learned to live without it
And now that you've turned to go
Let me beg you to stay, the best way I know

Lady, lay down beside me
Wrap all your love around me
I need you to stay
Don't turn away from me now
Lady, lay down
