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 all your foolish games
I'm tired of all of your lies making me insane
Won't you lay it on the line

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

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

You know I love you, you know it's true
It's up to you, girl, what've I got to do
Don't hold me up, girl, don't waste my precious time
Won't you lay it on the line
