Keith Stuart Brian Reid (born 19 October 1946 in Welwyn Garden City, Hertfordshire, England) is a songwriter who wrote the lyrics of every Procol Harum song that is not instrumental or a cover.
Reid was born and educated in London. He left school at an early age to pursue a song writing career. He met Gary Brooker, with whom he co-wrote most of the band's songs (some music was written by organist Matthew Fisher and by guitarist Robin Trower), in 1966. They soon began collaborating, and their composition "A Whiter Shade of Pale", Procol Harum's first single, was released in 1967. It reached the top of the UK Singles Chart and sold over six million copies worldwide. Reid continued to write lyrics for the band until they disbanded in 1977.
He also wrote the lyrics to the debut album of the French singer Michel Polnareff in 1966, and was co-writer for the John Farnham hit "You're the Voice" (1986).
Reid moved to New York and founded a management company in 1986. He reunited with Brooker and Procol Harum for the albums The Prodigal Stranger, released in 1991 and "The Wells on Fire" (2003)

Let me
Go down on you, baby
Girl, why don't you let me
Go down on you, baby

Let me in, let me in, let me in
So let me come in (Would you let me come on in)
Let me make it good (Ooh...), let me show you how
Play it for me, Roger, one time
I wanna put your lovin' through the test (Let's get it on, mmm)
I wanna see how good, good it can get

I wanna drive, I wanna drive you wild (Let me drive you wild, let me drive you wild)
Play it for me, Roger, one time
I wanna put your lovin' through the test (I wanna put your lovin', baby, through my test)
I wanna see how good, good it can get (I wanna see how good it can get, baby, oh, yeah, baby)
I wanna put your lovin' through the test (I wanna put your lovin', baby, through my, my, my test)
I wanna see how good, good it can get (I wanna see how good it's gonna get)
Babe, don't afraid (You don't have to be, no, you don't have to be)
You can have all of me, all of me tonight, baby

All you gotta do, all you gotta do, all you gotta do
Is lay, lay, lay, lay, lay, lay, lay your body down, baby
Come on, come on, baby
