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 do

you over have you

even got a clue

What I gave up

just to be here?

Serve you with

your steak and beer?

'Cause baby that's love

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 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

and maybe you should

say I'm beautiful

Why do 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

Boy I need love

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 with me

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?

Stop talking 'bout

making it better

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 heart has ever known

Come and lay your

bones down with me

come and lay your

bones down with me

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

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 ooh

come and lay

your bones down

let me lay my bones

down with you
