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
