Bones

Honey, I’ve been thinkin’ ‘bout you
All that you do
Don’t you think of me too?
Lady, where you’ve been for so long?
I don’t need you no more
Had to write you this song
Well I long to be alone with you
And if I couldn’t have you I don’t know
What I would do
I guess I would leave (I would leave)
This world alone (This world alone)
Cause without you I’m just bones (Bones)
Well I dream of you so much
Love you so much but
But thoughts aren’t enough
Well I speak only of you
So what else is new?
What am I to do?
Well I long to be alone with you
And if I couldn’t have you I don’t know
What I would do
I guess I would leave (I would leave)
This world alone (This world alone)
Cause without you I’m just bones (Bones)
Days go more and more I see
That your love is all my soul needs
But you’re gone and now I’m fallin’
Fallin’ to my knees
Well I long to be alone with you
And if I couldn’t have you I don’t know
What I would do
Well I long to be alone with you
And if I couldn’t have you I don’t know
What I would do
I guess I would leave (I would leave)
This world alone (This world alone)
Cause without you I’m just bones (Bones)
I guess I would leave (I would leave)
This world alone (This world alone)
Cause without you I’m just bones (Bones)
I guess I would leave (I would leave)
This world alone (This world alone)
Cause without you I’m just bones
