Lay It Down Part II - A Tribute To The Legends Lyrics

(feat. Patti Labelle)

[Lloyd:]
I'd like to send my love out to the late Teena Marie.
(Remix, remix) We love you.
I wanna send my blessings out to the wonderful Aretha Franklin,
(Queen!) The Queen of Soul.
Yeah...
We gonna keep it classy.
Young Lloyd.
Miss Patti, I see you baby.

Lay your head on my pillow.
Lay your head on my pillow.
Lay it down,
Lay it down,
Lay it down,
Oh lay it down.
Lay your head on my pillow.

[Lloyd:]
Hey Mama Patti,
I think I need some advice.
See my girl talkin bout how
I don't love her right.
See I give her everything and she's a good girl,
But I need her to stay down like a hood girl.
See I don't wanna run the streets all my life,
But the problem is she's never satisfied.

[Patti:]
But son do you tell her
I,
Love you,
Or I
Need you?
Tell her I
Want you,
Or do you just sit down there and tell your girl-

Lay your head on my pillow.
Lay your head on my pillow.
Lay it down,
Lay it down,
Lay it down,
Oh lay it down.
Lay your head on my pillow.

[Patti:]
So I'm lookin at the problem son,
And I have some advice.
([Lloyd:] Tell me mama)
She, she told me how your more in the club than in the bed at night.
([Lloyd:] But she be lyin on a nigga, mama)
Now if you really wanna keep a good girl,
Then why you run the streets with a hood girl?
If you wanna keep this girl in your life,
You better straighten up and treat this girl right and tell her I,
Love you,
I,
Need you.
Honey I,
Want you,
I do.
Instead of tellin your girl to lay your head down

Lay your head on my pillow.
Lay your head on my pillow.
Lay it down,
Lay it down,
Lay it down,
Oh lay it down.
Lay your head on my pillow.

[Lloyd:]
This what I'll do for you baby.
I'mma change
I'mma change
I'mma tell my girl how much I love her- I'mma do right
I'mma stay up out the club 'cause I know that you right

[Patti:]
You don't have to change,
Stay the same.
Just switch it up a little- let her see that you try.
She's gonna love you more if you do.

Lay your head on my pillow.
Lay your head on my pillow.
Lay it down,
Lay it down,
Lay it down,
Oh lay it down.
Lay your head on my pillow

[Patti:]
I,
Love you.
I,
Need you.
Honey I,
Want you...
