Well, you lost a foe And found yourself a friend (Lie down here & be my girl) I'm back now, baby, that man He won't be coming round here again (Lie down here & be my girl) I'm trying to tread careful, baby You're as brittle as the wishbone of a bird (Lie down here & be my girl) We've been scribbled in the margins of a story That's patently absurd (Lie down here & be my girl)
And let it all come down tonight We can shine, shine Let it all come down
(Be my girl, be my girl)
It's a matter of some urgency, oh darling, can't you see I can't hold back the tide (Lie down here & be my girl) And stop your frantic little fingers trying to collect the years That pour from the hole in my side (Lie down here & be my girl) Oh, don't worry, baby, this old snake banging on your door Has got a few skins left to shed (Lie down here & be my girl) Oh, you look so good, you look so good The rest is better left unsaid (Lie down here & be my girl)
And let it all come down tonight And shine, oh, we can shine Let it all come down Tonight
(Be my girl, yeah, be my girl)
You look so good, you look so good
One day I'll buy a factory And assemble you on a production line (Lie down here & be my girl) I'd buy a million of you, baby And every single one of them will be mine (Lie down here & be my girl) I will fill the house with you, stack you up in every room We'll have a real good time (Lie down here & be my girl) But right now, I'm sitting here on my own Going out of my mind (Lie down here & be my girl)
And let it all come down tonight And shine, oh, we can shine Let it all come down Tonight
