Lay Me Down
Lisa Stansfield · Other Songs - Lisa Stansfield
Sweeter than caramel
The way he weaves his madness
And it puts me in a spell
He twists me 'round his finger
And I enjoy it so
Hold me in his tender arms
And never let me go
He'll never let me go
Never let me go
Never let me go
Do, down, lay me down
Do, down, lay me down
Do, down, lay me down
Do, down, lay me down
There's never complication
He'll never compromise
His kisses never ending
And they send me to the sky
He's understanding
And he'll never let me down
He fills me up with passion
And he'll always be around
He'll always be around
He'll always be around
Always be, he will always be around
Do, down, lay me down
Do, down, lay me down
You hear what I say
Do, down, lay me down
Do, down, lay me down
Do, down, lay me down
He'll never let me down
Do, down, lay me down
Do you know what it means to me
Do, down, lay me down
And he's everything, oh baby
He'll always be around
He'll always be around
He'll always be around
He'll always be, he'll always be around
