[ Don Rich ]
I`m layin` it on the line I`m a gonna make you mine
I think I better warn you it`s only just a matter of time
Yeah as good as gone oh my name is Don I`m gonna make you mine
I`m tellin` you straight I`m a layin` it on the line
Well the first time I looked into your big brown eyes you really gave me a thrill
You were pretty and sweet and everything neat and dressed up fit to kill
I knew right then I had to win your heart and I don`t mean maybe
I`ll lay it on the line and I gotta make you my baby
I`ll lay it on the line...
[ guitar ]
Well I`m just a homegrown country lad that ain`t been much to school
Oh but I don`t take much of schoolin` and such to know that I want you
Yeah I can feel a need in me without you dear I`m a hurtin`
I`m layin` it on the line I gotta have you for certain
I`ll lay it on the line...
Yeah I`m tellin` you straight I`m a layin` it on the line
