Layin’ It on the Line Lyrics by Yak

Pursuit of Momentary Happiness

2019

[Verse 1]
I'm taking off, I'm going alone, I'm turning off the telephone
And I don't know where I'm going to
Don't know where I'm going too
But careless talk and jealousy's just another day to me
And I don't know where it's coming from
Don't know where it's coming from
[Verse 2]
You know I'm just doing what I please
And if I don't I'll just leave
Don't tell me I'm in the wrong
'Cause you don't know where I'm coming from
And I've been scorned and I've been bruised
And I've been told I'm gonna lose
But I'll just keep on keeping on, keep on keeping on
[Chorus]
Layin' it on the line
Layin' it on the line
Layin' it on the line
I ain't waiting around to die
Layin' it on the line
Layin' it on the line
Layin' it on the line
I ain't waiting around to die
[Verse 3]
Robbing Peter to pay Paul when I just wanna take it all
Don't know where it's coming from
Don't know where it's coming from
I've been battered and I've been bruised
And I've been told I'm gonna lose
But I'll just keep on keepin' on, keep on keeping on
[Chorus]
Layin' it on the line
Layin' it on the line
Layin' it on the line
I ain't waiting around to die
Layin' it on the line
Layin' it on the line
Layin' it on the line
I ain't waiting around to die
[Bridge]
Ah, you knocked me straight off course, of course
Just as it started, couldn't make it stop
Needed someone and you un-picked the lock
Alright, let the water rise
I hope you had fun back there
'Cause you knocked us straight off course
[Chorus]
I'm layin' it on the line
Layin' it on the line
Layin' it on the line
I ain't waiting around to die
I'm layin' it on the line
Layin' it on the line
Layin' it on the line
I ain't waiting around to die
