Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Put your head on the floor
Lay it down, lay it down, lay it down
I just met you, just the other day
Everything started flowing my way
I just love you, really I just love you for yourself
Hey lay it down
Lay it down, let it go, fall in love
(Put your head on the floor)
Lay it down, let it go, fall in love
Lay it down, let it go, fall in love
(One more thang)
Your love is a wonder to me
I just love you, really, I would really love you for free
All I want to do (all I want to do)
I don't want you to change your mind
I love you baby, in your time
Hey hey lay it
Lay it down, let it go, fall in love
(Lay your body down)
Lay it down, let it go, fall in love
Lay it down, let it go, fall in love
Lay it down, let it go, fall in love
See I love you, you see, I love you before my self
You're everything I need, everything I need
Ooh yeah, ooh yeah
Ever since I started, holding your hand
I've never seen, I've never seen such a smiling man
You made me happy baby
I almost, I almost I wrapped up
When I see you, I want to love you more, and more, and more
Hey lay it down
Lay it down, let it go, fall in love
(Hey, hey your better lay your body)
Lay it down, let it go, fall in love
Lay it down, let it go, fall in love
Lay it down, let it go, fall in love
Lay it down, let it go, fall in love
Lay it down, let it go, fall in love
Lay it down, let it go, fall in love
Lay it down, let it go, fall in love
Lay it down, let it go, fall in love
Lay it down, let it go, fall in love
