[Verse 1]

Do you take me for a child

'Cause it could take all night

Before we make landfall

And what did you expect

Do I have to atone for the bare bones?

Do I have to light a candle?

[Chorus]

I'm barely bones, barely bones

I'm barely bones, barely bones

I'm barely bones, barely bones

I'm barely bones

[Verse 2]

They're putting me on trial

But what I done is right

It was more than they could handle

Am I too direct

Do I have to atone for your bare bonеs?

Shoot the pain or play the vandal

[Chorus]

I'm barely bonеs, barely bones

I'm barely bones, barely bones

I'm barely bones, barely bones

I'm barely bones

[Bridge]

Can make another dime

Spending the buck, spending the buck

And putting up a fight

Then cut yourself a big slice

Make another dime

Spending the buck, spending the buck

And putting up a fight

Cut yourself a big slice

[Chorus]

I'm barely bones, barely bones

I'm barely bones, barely bones

I'm barely bones, barely bones

I'm barely bones
