Lay It Down
Al Green Feat Antony Hamilton Lyrics

Lay it down, lay it down, lay it down
Repetition of the phrase 'lay it down' to emphasize the importance of letting go and surrendering to love

Put your head on the floor
Symbolic gesture of submitting oneself to love without reservation or holding back

I just met you, just the other day
Acknowledgment that love can happen suddenly and unexpectedly, irrespective of the duration of knowing someone

Everything started flowing my way
Feeling of destiny and alignment of forces beyond one's control, leading to the beginning of a relationship

I just love you, really I just love you for yourself
Expression of unconditional love, without any expectation or ulterior motive

I don't want no, no, no no no no nobody else
Affirmation of the exclusiveness of the love and not wanting anyone else in the picture

Lay it down, let it go, fall in love
Reiteration of the need to surrender to love and let it take its course

(One more thang)
Introductory phrase to emphasize a point that follows

Your love is a wonder to me
Acknowledgment of the amazing and inexplicable feeling of love and its impact on one's life

I just love you, really, I would really love you for free
Asserting that love is not conditional on any material or external factors, but rather is given freely and unreservedly

All I want to do (all I want to do)
Declaration of the singular desire to love and be loved

I don't want you to change your mind
Fear of losing the love and wishing for it to stay constant

I love you baby, in your time
Acceptance and respect for the pace of the relationship, allowing it to unfold gradually

See I love you, you see, I love you before my self
Statement of selflessness, putting the loved one's needs before one's own

You're everything I need, everything I need
Acknowledgment that the loved one completes one's life and fulfills all desires

Ever since I started, holding your hand
Recollection of the moment when the relationship began

I've never seen, I've never seen such a smiling man
Expression of joy and amazement at the happiness brought by the loved one

You made me happy baby
Acknowledgment of the positive impact of the loved one on one's life and emotions

I almost, I almost I wrapped up
Admission of the tendency to hold back or close oneself off from love, overcome by the power of the relationship

When I see you, I want to love you more, and more, and more
Expression of the ever-increasing depth and intensity of love and attraction towards the loved one

Hey, hey you better lay your body down
Assertive and commanding tone, urging the loved one to fully surrender and embrace the love
