[Verse 1]

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?

[Pre-Chorus 1]

'Cause baby that's love (Baby that's love)

And baby that's real (Baby that's real)

And all I've ever wanted was for your loving 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

[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

And baby 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

[Pre-Chorus 2]

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

[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

[Bridge]

I look you dead in the eyes and say that "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

[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 (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

[Outro]

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 with you
