"Lay It On My Lady" lyrics

Lay It On My Lady

Now when I'm down and all dejected
And everything's going wrong
I just call upon my memory
And start dialing on the phone

Cause she knows when I'm in need
Of someone to lend an ear
To listen to the problems
That my mind can only hear

And all I gotta do
Is let her know
And she'll be there
And I just lay it on my lady
What's on my mind
I just lay it on my lady
What's on my mind
Lay it on

Well, she can talk me into seeing
Anything I want to see
And build me up to be
Anyone I want to be

She whispers in my ear the things
I like to hear her say
And she turns all my blue Mondays
Into sunshiny days

And every time I need her
I can always find a way
To just lay it on my lady
What's on my mind
I just lay it on my lady
What's on my mind

Well, I can hide myself inside her arms
And forget what's on my mind
Cause my troubles seem so far away
That I lose all track of time

Nothing seems to matter
Anymore
Least not half as much
As it used to mean before

Cause when she's here my worries
Seem to walk right out the door
And I just lay it on my lady
What's on my mind
Yes, I just lay it on my lady
What's on my mind

Lay it on my lady
What's on my mind
Lay it on my lady
What's on my mind
Lay it on my lady
