Lie Down Here (& Be My Girl)

[Verse 1] Well, you lost a foe And you found a friend Lie down here and be my girl I'm back now, baby, that man He won't be coming round here again Lie down here and be my girl I'm trying to tread careful, baby You're as brittle as a wishbone of a bird Lie down here and be my girl We've been scribbled in the margins Of a story that is patently absurd Lie down here and be my girl [Chorus] Let it all come down Yeah, tonight Oh we can shine, shine Let it all come down Oh, be my girl, be my girl [Verse 2] It's a matter of some urgency O darling can't you see, I can't hold back the tide Lie down here and be my girl And stop your frantic little fingers trying to collect The years that pour from the hole in my side Lie down here and be my girl Don't worry, baby, this old snake Banging at your door Lie down here and be my girl (has got a few skins left to shed) You look so good, you look so good Lie down here and be my girl (and the rest is better left unsaid) [Chorus] Let it all come down Yeah, tonight Oh shine, we can shine Let it all come down tonight Be my girl, yeah, be my girl [Verse 3] One day I'll buy a factory I'll assemble you on a production line Lie down here and be my girl I'll build a million of you, baby And every single one of them will be mine Lie down here and be my girl I will fill the house with you Stack you up in every room Lie down here and be my girl (we'll have a real good time) But right now I'm sitting here On my own, going out of my mind Lie down here and be my girl [Chorus] Let it all come down Yeah, tonight Oh we can shine, shine Tonight You look so good, you look so good, you look so good (tonight) You look so good, you look so good, you look so good (tonight)
