Lyrics
LAY DOWN YOUR CARDS (words/ music Caroline Tee © 2004)
Verse 1
I don?t wanna be - no lover substitute
I don?t wanna be filling somebody else?s shoes
I don?t wanna be no compensation prize
I don?t wanna be your compromise.
I wanna be the sunshine rays lighting up your days
I wanna be the last thought at night giving you dreams of pure delight
I wanna be the gravy on your roast, the topping on your toast
I wanna give you everything I know - loving from your head to your toes
Won?t you tell me . . ?
Chorus
Lay down your cards
What lies within your heart?
Baby I?m stuck like glue
Feel my love rain down on you.
Verse 2
Don?t wanna? be no amber light
Or a second place prize
?Citing somebody elses lines
Don?t wanna be, no I don?t wanna be
Don?t wanna be your trophey wife
Sitting pretty by your side
Riding up front for your friends to spy
Don?t wanna be, no I ain?t gonna be.
I wanna be the sunshine rays, lighting up your days
I wanna be the last thought at night, giving you dreams of pure delight.
I wanna be the gravy on your roast, the topping on your toast
I wanna give you everything I know - loving from your head to your toes
Won?t you tell me . . ?
