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 with you
