Too many times I didn't try to hold you I never kept the promises I told you Now it's time I give in, I know To the words that I should have said long ago [Chorus] 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 & learned to live without it Now that you've turned to go Let me beg you to stay the best way I know [Chorus: x2] Lady lay down
