 I come over  early in the morning
 just like a heat  wave, without warning
 And when I touch  you my heart begins to flutter
 'Cause you're smooth and creamy  like peanut butter  Aww Yeah
Girl  I wanna lay you down
 I said Girl  I wanna lay you down
 I'm gonna flood  you, like a love river
 Baby the post  man, is about to deliver
 Cook ya up some dinner,  a little pasta
 Listen to some music,  a little Rasta
Girl  I wanna lay you down
 I said Girl  I wanna lay you down
 (Girl I wanna lay you down)

 So turn out the lights,  bring out the candles,
 wrap your arms  around my love handles,
 they say the passion  may not always endure,
 but this feeling  that I have for you is burning  up my world
 Ending chorus:
Girl  I wanna lay you down
 Hooo hooo hoooooo
 I said Girl  I wanna lay you down
 (girl i wanna lay you down)
 I said Girl  I wanna lay you down
 I said Girl  I wanna lay you down
Girl  I wanna lay you down
Girl  I wanna lay you down
