Lay With You
DeBarge Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh baby!
I just wanna lay right here with you!
Baby I just wanna lay with you!
I know you have work
But I would love for you to stay with me
For a little while longer
I'm asking a lot but I don't want you to go away
'Cause I can't get you out of my mind, girl!
I could just look at you
All day long
Your beautiful smile I just
Can't go wrong
And only if you didn't have to leave
You could be relaxed and chill with me

Let's not leave our house today
I just wanna lay with you, with your body close to mine
Room service will be on their way
I just wanna lay with you
I can't get enough of you girl

Oh, baby
You're making it hard for me to leave
I wish I wouldn't have to go
So next time I'm around let's hope it will rain
So we could just stay in
'Cause I just wanna lay with you
I could just look at you
All day long
Your beautiful smile I just
Can't go wrong
And only if you didn't have to leave
We could relax and just chill in these sheets

Let's not leave our house today
I just wanna lay with you, with your body close to mine
Room service will be on their way
I just wanna lay with you
I can't get enough of you girl

Uhu, one night with you is like Heaven
Like Heaven
I don't wanna go from here
Oh, baby
Kissing your neck while you're sleeping
Sleeping
Lay with me

Let's not leave our house today
I just wanna lay with you
Room service will be on their way
I just wanna lay with you
'Cause I can't get enough of you girl

Let's not leave our house today
I just wanna lay with you




I just wanna lay with you
Oh I just wanna lay right here with you
