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
