Come on, put your loving in the lay away
Coming back to get it on another day
I don't have to worry about getting away
Hey, your love is safe in the lay away
Hey, hey, hey, hey, lay away
Evetybody's got someone
They wanna keep safe away
Everybody needs someone to
Love on a rainy day
Put your love in the lay away
I got to hold, hold on to my receipt
Girl, to redeem your love
That's exactly what I need
Your love and kisses
Makes it so complete
Yeah, I been greedy
Since the day I saw you
My heart keeps beating for you
And I ain't gonna let you get away
Girl, I'm going straight down to the man
Gonna put it in the lay away
Gonna put it in the lay away
Gonna put it in the lay away

Coming back to get it on another day
Coming back to get it on a rainy day
