[Verse 1]
Looking round' for a feelin'
I love rhythm and blues
The place was rockin' and reelin'
I thought I'd shake me loose
The band was pumpin' Motown
Lord how they could play
The girls a-started singin'
Rock the night away
[Pre-Chorus]
By the midnight hour
They could'a raised the dead
They were taking it higher
Higher, higher, higher
Ringin' in my head
[Chorus]
(Lay it down) Lay it down
(Lay it down) Lay it
(Lay it down) Lay it down
(Lay it down)
[Verse 2]
Whisky, wine and women
They get me through the night
I ain't looking for trouble
I ain't looking to fight
A little vertical persuasion
Would do me right
What I'm really needin'
A double shot tonight
[Pre-Chorus]
By the midnight hour
We were on our way
She was taking it higher
Higher, higher, higher
Then I heard her say
[Chorus]
(Lay it down) Lay it down
(Lay it down) Lay it, lay it
(Lay it down) Lay it down
(Lay it down)
[Guitar solo]
[Pre-Chorus]
By the midnight hour
We were on our way
She was taking it higher
Higher, higher, higher
Then I heard her say
Ah-ooh
[Chorus]
(Lay it down) Lay it down
(Lay it down) Oh yeah, yeah
(Lay it down) Baby, lay it down
(Lay it down) La, la, la, lay it
(Lay it down) Lay it down
(Lay it down) La, la, la, lay it
(Lay it down) Lay it down
(Lay it down) Oh yeah
