Bones
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I wish that you could see who I really am
It's tough being a woman in love
With an unkind man
Cause baby I'd give you the world, in fact, I already do
And how do you repay that?
Talk to me like I'm just a regular tramp tryna took you over
Have you even have a clue
What I gave up just to be here?
Serve you with your steak and beer?
Baby that's for love (baby that's for love)
Baby that's for real (baby that's for real)
And all I've ever wanted was for your loving arms
To wrap themselves around me and say
Hey girl, you're the prettiest thing my eyes have ever seen
Come and lay your bones down with me
Come and lay your bones down with me
Hey girl, you're the prettiest thing my heart has ever known
Come and lay your bones down with me
Come and lay your bones down
I'm not tryna play the victim
Don't wanna go head to head
But boy I shouldn't have to stand in the mirror
Convincing myself I'm fair
Maybe that's your job to do
And maybe you should say I'm beautiful
Why do you wanna watch the set
When I'm layin' right next to you in my own room?
I feel like you don't even know I'm there
But I put a brush through my hair for you
Run my fingertips over your back real smooth
Boy I need love (boy I need love)
I don't get enough (I don't get enough)
And all I've ever wanted was for your loving arms
To wrap themselves around me and say
Hey girl, you're the prettiest thing my eyes have ever seen
Come and lay your bones down with me
Come and lay your bones down with me
Hey girl, you're the prettiest thing my heart has ever known
Come and lay your bones down with me
Come and lay your bones down
I look you dead in the eyes and say I love you
In the eyes and say I want you
In the eyes and say this is what I'm asking for
How can you sit and stare at the wall?
Do you even like me at all?
Start talking 'bout making it better, it ain't that complicated
I just wanna see your arms around me, baby
Come and lay your bones down
Come and lay your bones down
Hey girl, you're the prettiest thing my eyes have ever seen
Come and lay your bones down with me
Come and lay your bones down with me (bones down)
Hey girl, you're the prettiest thing my heart has ever known
Come and lay your bones down with me
Come and lay your bones down
Oh, I look you dead in the eyes and say I love you
In the eyes and say I want you
In the eyes and say this is what I'm asking for
Ooh, come and lay your bones down
Let me lay my bones down
