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 tryin' to 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 (boy, I need love)
I don't get enough (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
