[Chorus: Ronald Isley]
Lay, lady, lay
Lay across my big brass bed
Lay, lady, lay
Lay across my big brass bed

[Verse 1: Ronald Isley]
Whatever colors you have in your mind
I'll show them to you and you'll see them shine

[Chorus: Ronald Isley, The Isley Brothers]
Lay, lady, lay
Lay across my big brass bed
Lay, lady, lay
Lay across my big brass bed

[Verse 2: Ronald Isley, The Isley Brothers]
Stay, lady, stay
Stay with your man awhile
Stay, lady, stay
Stay with your man awhile
Until the break of day
Let me see you make him smile
Stay, lady, stay
Stay, lady, stay
Stay, lady, stay, lady
Stay, lady, stay, lady
[Bridge: Ronald Isley]
His clothes are dirty
But his hands are clean
And you're the best thing
That he's ever seen

[Verse 3: Ronald Isley, The Isley Brothers]
Stay, lady, stay
Oh, stay with your man awhile
Stay, lady, stay
Stay, lady, stay
Stay, lady, stay, lady
Stay, lady, stay, lady

[Bridge: Ronald Isley]
Why wait any longer for the world to begin?
You can have your cake and eat it, too
Why wait any longer for the one you love
When he's standing, standing, standing in front of you, oh oh

[Chorus: Ronald Isley, The Isley Brothers]
Lay, lady, lay
Lay across my big brass bed
Lay, lady, lay
Lay across my big brass bed
Stay, lady, stay
Stay while the night is still ahead
Stay, lady, stay
Stay, lady, stay
Stay, lady, stay, lady
Stay, lady, stay, lady
[Verse 4: Ronald Isley]
I long to see you in the morning light
I wanna reach for you in the night
Please, lady
Stay, lady
Stay while the night is still ahead
