[Intro: Ronald Isley]
La da da da da da da da da da, hey yeah, ooh

[Verse 1: Ronald Isley]
Your body's warm, but you're still unsure
I'll have you know that I have the perfect cure, yeah
Step in my room and I'll take your fears away
Put your trust in me and all that I say
Tell me can we lay

[Chorus: Ronald Isley & R. Kelly]
Let's lay together
Ooh hoo baby
Let's lay together
Tell me can we lay
Let's lay together
Lay ay ay ay, yeah, oh baby
Let's lay together
Ooh, oh hoo oh hoo

[Verse 2: Ronald Isley]
Heaven's to blame for this love affair
Feels good to know love will always be there, baby
You took my heart and made such a sexual burning flame
Let's love tonight, straight into the day
Can we lay

[Chorus: Ronald Isley & R. Kelly]
Let's lay together
Please baby
Let's lay together
Oh, all I wanna do is lay
Let's lay together
Let's lay together
Let's lay together
Let's lay together

[Bridge: Ronald Isley]
Ah, please, baby
Lay down, baby
Let me help you with your stockings, girl
Yeah, oh baby
All I wanna do, all day and night, all day and night, baby
Oh, oh, oh

[Chorus: Ronald Isley & R. Kelly]
Let's lay together
Can we lay? Can we lay? What can I say? Can we lay?
Let's lay together
Ah, together, me and you, me and you, me and you, girl
Let's lay together
Me and you, girl, ah, nobody
Let's lay together
Nobody else, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
Nobody else around
Let's lay together
Nobody, baby - we can go to town
Let's lay together

[Outro: Ronald Isley & R. Kelly]
Yeah, well well well, I can make your body sing, baby
Ting a ling a ling, ting a ling, ting a ling, baby
Well well well well, ooh hoo hoo hoo
Can we lay? Can we lay?
Let's lay together
Can we lay? Can we lay, baby?
Let's lay together
Ah, ah, put your head on my shoulder, baby
Let's lay together
Right there, right there, girl

The Isley Brothers are an American musical group originally from Cincinnati, Ohio, originally a vocal trio consisting of brothers O'Kelly Isley, Jr., Rudolph Isley and Ronald Isley. The group has been cited as having enjoyed one of the “longest, most influential, and most diverse careers in the pantheon of popular music”.

Alongside a fourth brother, Vernon, the group originally performed gospel music until Vernon’s death a few years after its original formation. After moving to the New York City area in the late 1950s, the group had modest chart successes during their early years, first coming to prominence in 1959 with their fourth single, “Shout”, written by the three brothers. Initially a modest charted single, the song eventually sold over a million copies. Afterwards the group recorded modestly successful works for a variety of labels, including the top 20 single, “Twist and Shout” and the Motown single, “This Old Heart of Mine (Is Weak for You)” before recording and issuing the Grammy Award-winning hit, “It’s Your Thing” on their own label, T-Neck Records.
