Lay me down hold me gently whisper words I need to hear
Do the little things I'm fondest of
Let me touch your satin body let me kiss your tender lips
And get ready for another night of love

From nine to five I fight the concrete jungle
Some days I work my fingers to the bone
But I get by because I know you're waiting
With dinner wine and love when I get home

A man needs something warm to come home to
The world outside seems so doggone cold
Thank God you give me something I can hold to
You straighten out my mind and warm my soul

Lay me down hold me gently whisper words I need to hear...

[ trumpet ]
Lay me down hold me gently whisper words I need to hear...
And get ready for another night of love
