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 $$# 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, baby
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
