Lay Down With Me, Barbara Lyrics

Leaves are rustling
Rustling in the sultry evening breeze
I don't wear pajamas
Trust me darlin', you won't need that chemise
I know it's hard to love a man like me
But you do so with the greatest of ease

We created tender love from scratch
Don't you think it's time we made another batch?
Oh, lay down with me, Barbara
Underneath the candelabra
Oh, lay down with me, Barbara
Or I will die
I will surely die

Who needs moonlight?
Moonlight's rubbish, anyway, my dear
When the clouds obscure it
Look upon you, 'neath the chandelier
Let us not waste a precious moment
Blindly fumbling with the clasp of your brassiere

We created tender love from scratch
Don't you think it's time we made another batch?
Oh, lay down with me, Barbara
Underneath the candelabra
Oh, lay down with me, Barbara
Or I will die
I will surely die

(All alone)
Oh, lay down with me, Barbara
Underneath the candelabra
Oh, lay down with me, Barbara
Or I will die
I will surely die
Surely die

Just bury me, Barbara
Bury me in a coffin full of money
And I'll love you throughout the afterlife
I love you, girl
