you were seventeen 
 not just another teenage queen 
 and then I took you ev'rywhere you've been 
 in and out of love then back again 
 now. 
  
 When I very first saw you baby I knew 
 ooh 
 darling it had to be you 
 you're the one who takes me higher 
 ooh 
 baby set my heart on fire. 
  
 Come on baby lay your love on me 
 ooh baby let your love go free now 
 come on baby lay your love on me 
 Baby 
 baby 
 baby 
 got the love I need 
 now. 
  
 Now I've tasted your sweet lips 
 ooh 
 darling I know what I miss 
 you gave me more than I would ever take 
 with ev'ry word and ev'ry move you make 
 now. 
 I can't believe that after all this time 
 I got ev'ry little thing I ever hoped to find 
 whatever you got 
 I can't let up 
 it's you baby it's you that I love. 
  
 Come on baby lay your love on me
