LAY ME DOWN (Pete Ham)
[from The Best Of Badfinger, Vol. 2 CD - recorded 1974 - released 1990]
[from Head First CD - recorded 1974 - released U.S. 2000]

Need your loving, need your loving
Need your loving, it's everything to me
Need your loving, I need your loving
I need your loving

Take me high, take me low
Show me anything that you know
But tonight, little lover, lay me down

Make me laugh, make me sigh
Tell me how and tell me why
But tonight, little lover, lay me down

Lay me down, pull me 'round
Let me hear the loving sound
In our nest, we are blessed with our love
Take and give, take and live
All the love that we have found
And just send all the problems away

Play me fun, play me sad
Tell me things that can make you glad
But tonight, love a little, lay me down
Lay me down

Need your loving, I need your loving
I need your loving, it's everything to me
Need your loving, I need your loving
I need your loving, it's everything to me

[guitar solo (Pete Ham)]

Lay me down, move me 'round
Let me hear the loving sound
In our nest, we are blessed with our love
Take and give, take and live
All the love that we have found
And just send all the problems away

Play to share, play to care
You can play with me anywhere
But tonight, little lover, lay me down
But tonight, little lover, lay me down
Lay me down

Need your loving, need your loving
Need your loving, it's everything to me
Need your loving, I need your loving
I need your loving, it's everything to me
Need your loving, I need your loving
I need your loving, it's everything to me
I need your loving, I need your loving
I need your loving, it's everything to me
I need your loving, I need your loving...
