[Verse 1]

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



[Chorus]

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



[Verse 2]

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



[Chorus]

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



[Middle 8]

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



[Chorus]

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
