LAY DOWN
Tom Evans Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Need your loving
Need your loving
Need your loving
It's everything to me

Need your loving
Need your loving
Need your loving
It's everything to me

Take me high take me low
Show me anything that you know
But tonight little lover lay me down
Make me laugh make me cry tell me how and tell me why
But tonight lover little lay me down

Lay me down move me round
Let me hear your loving sound
In our mess we are blessed with our love
Take and give take and live all the love that we have found
And just send all our problems away

Play me fun play me sad
Tell me things that could make you glad
But tonight lover little Lay me down
Lay me down
Need you loving

Play to share play to care
You can play with me anywhere
But tonight lover little lay me down
But tonight lover little lover lay me down




Lay me down
Need your loving
