Lord knows, I need to hear the things,
You're whisperin' in my ear.
Even though I know that they're not true.
It's as warm as weakness,

Wantin' arms to hold her near.
But you already have someone who gives all her love to you.

You should be layin' in her arms,
Instead of lyin' here in mine.
You should be tellin' her the things you're tellin' me:
Like how much you need me,
An' always want me near,
Oh, it's such a lovely line.
You should be layin' in her arms,
Instead of lyin' here in mine.

Sure, I can feel the fire,
An' the wanting when we touch.
An' layin' down would sure be good with you.
You know all the words that make,
A woman feel so much.
Oh, it would be so easy but it's not the thing to do.

You should be layin' in her arms,
Instead of lyin' here in mine.
You should be tellin' her the things you're tellin' me:
Like how much you need me,
An' always want me near,
Oh, it's such a lovely line.
You should be layin' in her arms,
Instead of lyin' here in mine.

You should be layin' in her arms,
Instead of lyin' here in mine.
You should be tellin' her the things you're tellin' me:
Like how much you need me.
