don't want to borrow your car
don't want to meet your ma
don't want to hold your hand
or have you come see my band
just lay me down
don't want no sweet talking
don't want no moonlit walking
don't want to reminisce
about our first kiss
just lay me down, lay me down
about what's not going right
but while we're still being sweet
there's just one thing I need
don't want to know your past
'cause this ain't going to last
don't want to talk to your friends
while we're this close to the end
just lay me down, lay me down
don't want to borrow your car
don't want to meet your ma
don't want to hold your hand
don't want to meet your ma
don't want to hold your hand
or have you come see my band
just lay me down
don't want no sweet talking
don't want no moonlit walking
don't want to reminisce
about our first kiss
just lay me down, lay me down
about what's not going right
but while we're still being sweet
there's just one thing I need
don't want to know your past
'cause this ain't going to last
don't want to talk to your friends
while we're this close to the end
just lay me down, lay me down
don't want to borrow your car
don't want to meet your ma
don't want to hold your hand

The Main Mix
I ain't lookin' to compete with you
Beat or cheat or mistreat you
Simplify you, classify you
Deny, defy or crucify you
All I really want to do
Is, baby, be friends with you
No, I ain't lookin' to fight with you
Frighten you or tighten you
Drag you down or drain you down
Chain you down or bring you down
All I really want to do
Is, baby, be friends with you
I don't want to fake you out
Take or shake or forsake you out
I ain't lookin' for you to feel like me
See like me or be like meI don't want to meet your kin
Make you spin or do you in
Or select you or dissect you
Or inspect you or reject you
All I really want to do
Is baby be friends with you

I Just Want to Make Love to You
It's a mixed up, muddled up, shook up world.
(Except for Lola.)
Who believe? These lyrics are enormously sexy, you just maybe don't know why.
I agree. Her style here reminds me of Margo Timmins of the Cowboy Junkies. I like it.
The Audreys are fun - this song's lyrics are funny. I own Lay It Down and love singing along with both vocalists; the range is comfortable.
I don't think it's supposed to be sexy. she just wants to get laid.
Just imagine a guy singing...
Plenty of of passion in the words though. My take is that her voice is sultry. . . and in respect of the content of the song, that works for me!

Well, there is no passion.....

jahgirl8 where do you live? Hit me up
To tired to move your finger over a little bit more on the keyboard...
A human being singing about a human need - gender has nothing to do with it.
