The Darkness – Lay Down With Me, Barbara lyrics

[Verse 1]
Leaves are rustling
Rustling in the sultry evening breeze (Ahh)
I don't wear pajamas
Trust me darling, you won't need that chemise

[Pre-Chorus]
I know it's hard to love a man like me
But you do so with the greatest of ease

[Chorus]
We created tender love from scratch
Don't you think it's time we made another batch?
Oh, lay down with me, Barbara
Underneath the candelabra
Oh, lay down with me, Barbara
Or I will die
I will surely die

[Verse 2]
Who needs moonlight?
Moonlight's rubbish, anyway, my dear
When the clouds obscure it
Look upon you, 'neath the chandelier

[Pre-Chorus]
Let us not waste a precious moment
Blindly fumbling with the clasp of your brassiere

[Chorus]
We created tender love from scratch
Don't you think it's time we made another batch?
Oh, lay down with me, Barbara
Underneath the candelabra
Oh, lay down with me, Barbara, or I will die
I will surely die

[Solo]

(All alone)

[Chorus]
Oh, lay down with me, Barbara
Underneath the candelabra
Oh, lay down with me, Barbara, or I will die
I will surely die
Surely die

[Outro]
Just bury me, Barbara
Bury me in a coffin full of money
And I'll love you throughout the afterlife
I love you, girl
