[Verse 1: Magnet]
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 you'll see them shine
[Verse 2: Magnet and Gemma Hayes]
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 'em smile
Your clothes are dirty but your hands are clean
And I'm the best thing that you've ever seen
Stay lady stay, stay with your man awhile
[Bridge: Gemma Hayes and Magnet]
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?
I am standin' in front of you
[Verse 3: Magnet and Gemma Hayes]
Lay lady lay, lay across my big brass bed
Stay lady stay, stay with your man awhile
You long to see me in the morning light
You long to reach for me in the night
[Outro: Magnet, Gemma Hayes, and Both]
Stay lady stay, stay while the night is still ahead
So maybe I'll stay, stay while the night is still ahead
Stay lady stay, stay while the night is still ahead
So maybe I'll stay, stay while the night is still ahead
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 you'll see them shine
[Verse 2: Magnet and Gemma Hayes]
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 'em smile
Your clothes are dirty but your hands are clean
And I'm the best thing that you've ever seen
Stay lady stay, stay with your man awhile
[Bridge: Gemma Hayes and Magnet]
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?
I am standin' in front of you
[Verse 3: Magnet and Gemma Hayes]
Lay lady lay, lay across my big brass bed
Stay lady stay, stay with your man awhile
You long to see me in the morning light
You long to reach for me in the night
[Outro: Magnet, Gemma Hayes, and Both]
Stay lady stay, stay while the night is still ahead
So maybe I'll stay, stay while the night is still ahead
Stay lady stay, stay while the night is still ahead
So maybe I'll stay, stay while the night is still ahead
