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 [bad word] 'round here again
(Lie down here and be my girl).
I try to tread careful, baby,
You're as brittle as the wishbone of a bird
(Lie down here and be my girl).
We've been scribbled in the margins
Of a story that patently absurd
(Lie down here and be my girl).

Let it [bad word] down,
Yeah, tonight we can shine, shine.
Let it [bad word] down,
Oh be my girl, be my girl.

It's a matter of some urgency.
Oh 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).
Oh don't worry, baby,
This old snake banging at your door
Has got a few skins left to shed
(Lie down here and be my girl).
Oh, you look so good,
You're looking so good
And the rest is better left unsaid
(Lie down here and be my girl).

Let it [bad word] down,
Yeah, tonight we can shine, shine.
Let it [bad word] down,
Tonight be my girl, yeah, be my girl.
You look so good, you look so good...

One day I'll buy a factory,
I'll assemble you on a production line
(Lie down here and be my girl).
I'd 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,
We'll have a real good time
(Lie down here and be my girl).
But right now I'm sitting here on my own
Going out of my mind
(Lie down here and be my girl).

Let it [bad word] down,
Yeah, tonight oh we can shine,
Shine tonight.
You look so good, you look so good...
