            E                A               E
Well, they say your kiss is like forbidden fruit,
     A                                      E
One taste of your sweet strawberry lips and I'll
be hooked on you,
      B                            A
They say one day just like a dog, you'll own me
             E
I say lay it on me

I'm six foot four and tough as a man can be
I ain't scared of much, I'll buck right up,
there's a fightin' side of me
They say I'll turn to putty and you'll mold me,
well lay it on me

Chorus:
     A
You might be more then I can stand,
E
After all honey, I'm just one man,
   A             B                  E
I might wind up sad, beat down and lonely,
         A
But I'm watching the way them jeans low ride,
      E
Your belly button ring and big blue eyes,
F#                                B
And I can hardly wait for you to hold me,
                       E
Come on and lay it on me,

That "born to break hearts" tattoo don't faze me
So, stroll your sweet self over here, and
Bring me to my knees, and
we'll see who comes out on top
Now won't we, lay it on me,

Chorus:
you might be more then I can stand
After all honey, I'm just one man,
I might wind up sad
Beat down and lonely, but I'm watching
the way them jeans low ride
Your belly button ring and big blue eyes,
and I can hardly wait for you to hold me

Come on and lay it on me, well, lay down
The lawer lay it all on the line, girl
I don't care as long as you lay your body
Next to mine
And if your afraid of falling
Darlin' don't be come on and lay it on me,
I say lay it on me, come on lay it on
