Stylistic song going back over 30 yrs. Here's the lyric if you care to sing along. The melody is the same as the. dominant guitar melody...
I've got my coffee, the morning paper
a small apartment with a view. I'll get together, with friends and neighbors
you say that's not the scene for you.
chorus
Don't put it down baby, don't put it down
don't put it down til you've been there.
Once you've been there baby, once you've been there
where you ain't ever been before
you will never put it down anymore.
We left the movies with corny ending
and foolish things that lovers do,
they smile at children they cry at weddings
you say that's not the scene for you.
Chorus
Don't put it down baby, don't put it down
don't put it down til you've been there.
Once you've been there baby, once you've been there
where you ain't ever been before
you will never put it down anymore.
My hand, my heart, my soul, my love
my devotion, my whole life through...
these are the things I offer you...
Chorus repeat
