Lay Me Down Lyrics

Reo Speedwagon

Ive played your game
And Ive played it well.
Ill be another fool
To hang upon your wall.
I laid my heart out
Like an open book.
Its a simple thing and dont take much
To crack it open and bleed.
Lay me down.
Lay me down when youre through with me.
Lay me down.
Let me bleed when youre through with me.
Dont let me think youre wrong,
Just let me fall down.
Ill pick myself up again.
Its the kindest thing you can do for me,
So, woman, wont you lay me down.
I lied to myself.
Tried to believe in you.
But its hard to rely on the ghost of someone you hardly even knew
You bring things out
Just to bring me down.
Then you twist them about and shove em in my face
Til my eyes cant see any good.
Yeah!
