- Lay Down Your Cross Lyrics

Lay down your cross
Cross off your day
Lady, lady

Turn off your phone
Lie where you lay
Lady, lady
Please, please

Love let me love
Love let me love
Love let me love
Let me love her again

Love let me love
Let me love her again

Oh yeah

Kick off your feet
Twist off your head
Lady, lady

Burn all your clothes
And then let's go to bed
And get Lazy
Lady, Please, Please

Love let me love
Love let me love
Love let me love
Let me love her again
Love let me love
Let me love her again

Oh yeah

You don't see me drinking alone
Do you dear?
You don't see me drink on my own
Do you dear?
You don't see me drinking alone

Love let me love
Love let me love
Love let me love
Let me love her again

Love let me love
Let me love her again

Oh yeah

Love let me love
Love let me love
Love let me love
Let me love her again

Love let me love
Let me love her again

Oh yeah
