Lay Your Hands On Me
Beth Hart · Live At Paradiso [2005]
Hold me as long, because I need it
Hold me as long, until we make it
Take your time, take your time
Hold me as long until you're, until you're better
Hold me as long, I'll be your nature
Yeah, hold me as long, we'll come together
Don't be shy
[Chorus]
I'm inviting you, I'm inviting you
Lay your hands on me
Run as fast as you can, run as fast as you can
So lay your hands on me
Hold me as long, my body's shaking
Hold me as long, I'm anticipating
And hold me as long, your woman's waiting
Yeah, don't be shy
[Chorus]
I'm inviting you, I'm inviting you
So lay your hands on me
Run as fast as you can, run as fast as you can
Just lay your hands on me
Hold me as long, your all I've ever wanted
Yeah, hold me as long (long, long, long,)
[Chorus]
I'm inviting you, I'm inviting you
So lay your hands on me
Run as fast as you can, run as fast as you can
Just lay your hands on me - just lay
Yeah, lay your hands on me
Just lay your hands on me - just lay
Just lay your hands on me
And don't be shy
