If you wanna be my lover
Well, one thing I want you to know
Tonight is gonna be hot, right?
But in the morning, I gotta go
'Cause if it's love that you're lookin' for
Then you knocked on the wrong back door
But if it's sweets that you came to taste
I'll keep the smile on my face
I am a woman of constant sorrow
I have seen trouble on my day
I bid farewell to old Kentucky
And I mean oh boy, with who I'd lay
Now for six long years I've been at trouble
So many pleasures I have found
For in this world I was bound to ramble
I need no friends to help me now
Gonna lay back
Gonna lay right back
Gonna lay back
Gonna lay back, like that
Gonna lay back
Gonna lay right back
Gonna lay back
Gonna lay back, like that
Gonna lay back, gonna lay back
Like that, like that
Gonna lay back, gonna lay back
Like that
Just to see that look on your face
When I go "Mmm..."
Just to see that look
When I "Mmm..."
Just to see that look
Just to see that look on your face
When I, when I "Mmm..."
Just to see that look
When I "Mmm..."
Just to see that look
Please bury me in your deep valley
And all night long, that's where I'll lay
For just one night, pretend I love you
I'll wrap in you like I'm sleepin' in my grave
If you wanna be my lover
Well, one thing I want you to know
Tonight is gonna be hot, right?
But in the morning, I gotta go
'Cause if it's love that you're lookin' for
Then you knocked on the wrong back door
But if it's sweets that you came to taste
I'll keep the smile on my face
And so it's goodbye, my sweet lover
Don't cry if you don't see me anymore
There's just one thing that I can promise
You'll never see me on God's golden shore
Gonna lay back
Gonna lay right back
Gonna lay back
Gonna lay back, like that
Gonna lay back
Gonna lay right back
Gonna lay back
Gonna lay back, like that
Gonna lay back, gonna lay back
Like that, like that
Gonna lay back, gonna lay back
Like that
