Bones

I wish that you could see who I really am
It sucks being a woman in love with an unkind man
Cause baby I would 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 screw you over
Do you even have a clue, what I gave up just to be here
To serve your ass with steak and beer?

Baby that's love. Baby that's real
And all I've ever wanted was for your damn 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 with me

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
Baby that's your job to do. Baby you should think I'm beautiful
Why you wanna watch the set when I'm layin' right next to you in our 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

Cause boy I need love, I don't get enough
And all I've ever wanted was for your damn arms
To put 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 with me

I look you dead in the eye and say I love you, in the eye and say I want you
In the eye 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 makin' it better. It ain't that complicated
I just wanna feel your arms around me, babe, please say

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 with me

Please, please baby
It's a woman's dream
