Lord knows, I need to hear the things,
You're whisperin' in my ear
Even though I know that they're not true
It's as warm as weakness,
Wantin' arms to hold her near
But you already have someone who gives all her love to you

You should be layin' in her arms,
Instead of lyin' here in mine
You should be tellin' her the things you're tellin' me:
Like how much you need me,
An' always want me near,
Oh, it's such a lovely line
You should be layin' in her arms,
Instead of lyin' here in mine

Sure, I can feel the fire,
An' the wanting when we touch
An' layin' down would sure be good with you
You know all the words that make,
A woman feel so much
Oh, it would be so easy but it's not the thing to do

You should be layin' in her arms,
Instead of lyin' here in mine
You should be tellin' her the things you're tellin' me:
Like how much you need me,
An' always want me near,
Oh, it's such a lovely line
You should be layin' in her arms,
Instead of lyin' here in mine

You should be layin' in her arms,
Instead of lyin' here in mine
You should be tellin' her the things you're tellin' me:
Like how much you need me
