Lay It Down

Looking 'round for a feelin'

I love the rhythm and blues

The place was rockin' and reelin'

I thought I'd shake me loose

The band was pumpin' Motown

Lord, how they could play

The girls started singing

Rock the night away



By the midnight hour

They could've raised the dead

They were takin' it higher

Higher, higher, higher, ringin' in my head

Lay it down (lay it down)

Lay it down (lay it)

Lay it down (lay it down)

Lay it down



Whisky, wine, and women

They get me though the night

I ain't lookin' for trouble

I ain't lookin' to fight

A little vertical persuasion

Would do me right

I'm really needin'

A double shot tonight



By the midnight hour

We were on our way

She was takin' it higher

Oh higher, higher, higher, then I heard her say

Lay it down (lay it down)

Lay it down (lay, lay it)

Lay it down (lay it down)

Lay it down



By the midnight hour

We were on our way

She was takin' it higher

Ooh higher, higher, higher, then I heard her say

Whoa, ooh, yeah baby

Lay it down (lay it down)

Lay it down (lay it)

Lay it down (lay it down)

Lay it down (lay it)



Lay it down (lay it down)

Lay it down (lay it)

Lay it down (lay it down)

Lay it down, yeah
