It's the same old story all over again

You turn a lover into just another friend

I want to love you, I want to make you mine

Won't you lay it on the line?



I'm tired of playing all your foolish games

I'm tired of all of your lies making me insane

Won't you lay it on the line



CHORUS:

Lay it on the line

Lay it on the line

Don't waste my time

Lay it on the line



You got no right to make me wait

We better talk, girl, before it gets too late

I never thought you could be so unkind

Won't you lay it on the line



CHORUS



You know I love you, you know it's true

It's up to you, girl, what've I got to do

Don't hold me up, girl, don't waste my precious time

Won't you lay it on the line



CHORUS
