Lay it on the Line

According to the Lay It On The Line Songfacts, this song was written two years before the release of: Just A Game. Triumph had tried the song out as an acoustic track in concert before deciding to arrange it as a rock number on their high-concept album.

It's the same old story all over again You turn a lover into just another friend I wanna love you I wanna make you mine Won't you lay it on the line I'm tired of playin foolish games I'm tired of all your lies makin me insane I don't ask for much the truth will do just fine Won't you lay it on the line Chorus: Lay it on the line Lay it on the line Lay it on the line Don't waste my time You got no right to make me wait We better talk girl before it gets too late I never ever thought you could be so unkind Won't you lay it on the line Chorus You know I love you, you know it's true It's up to you, girl,now what've I got to do Don't hold me up, girl, don't waste my precious time Won't you lay it on the line Chorus
