Lyrics Cassandra Wilson

Cassandra Wilson

Lay Lady Lay

Lay lady lay, lay across my big brass bed

Lay lady lay, lay across my big brass bed

Whatever colors you have in your mind

I'll show them to you and I'll see them shine

Lay lady lay, lay across my big brass bed

Stay lady stay, stay with your man awhile

Until the break of day let me see you make him smile

His clothes are dirty but his hands are clean

And you're the best thing that he's ever seen, oh

Lay lady lay, lay across my big brass bed

Why wait any longer for the world to begin?

You can have your cake and eat it too

Why wait any longer for the one you love

When he's standing in front of you?

Lay, lay lady lay, lay

I long to see you in the morning light

I long to reach for you in the night

Lay lady lay, lay across my big brass bed

Lay, lay, lay, lay

Stay, stay, stay with your man awhile

Lay, layy, lay, let me see you make him smile

Let me see you make him smile

Lay lady lay
