It's the same old story all over again
You turn a lover into just another friend
I want to love you, I want to make you mine
Won't you lay it on the line

I'm tired of playing foolish games
I'm tired of all of your lies making me insane
I don't ask for much, the [bad word] will do just fine
Won't you lay it on the line

Lay it on the line
Lay it on the line
Lay it on the line
Don't waste my time

You got no right to make me wait
We better talk, girl, before it gets too late
I never, ever thought you could be so unkind
Won't you lay it on the line

Lay it on the line
Lay it on the line
Lay it on the line
Don't waste my time

You know I love you (you know I love you), you know it's [bad word] (you know it's [bad word] 
It's up to you, girl, now what have I got to do
Don't hold me up, girl, don't waste my precious time
Won't you lay it on the line

Lay it on the line
Lay it on the line (lay it on the line)
Lay it on the line (don't hold me up, girl)
Lay it on the line
Lay it on the line (lay it on the line, girl)
Lay it on the line (no, don't hold me up)
Lay it on the line (lay it on the line)
Lay it on the line
Lay it on the line
