Skin & Bones

He gave me love like a valentine

And everyday he walked the line

Until one day he made me choose

I had to change my way or he'd make me sing the blues

And I said

My dear my heart is skin and bone

You're not the first or last to go

I'll never chain myself

'Cause my mama don't raise a fool

My skin and bones and a muse

Will always have to do

C'mon

He buried me yeah, at first sight

Well, he controlled the room with a bad little lie

I knew my heart would turn to stone

But when I come to place my bet

I keep one foot out the door

And I said

My dear my heart is skin and bone

You're not the first or the last to go

I'll never chain myself

'Cause my mama don't raise a fool

My skin and bones and a muse

Will always have to do

Yeah, yeah

Oh

Yeah skin and bones

Yeah that'll do

That crooked man he gave me time alone

Yeah, I'd rather cry for you

Then have a noose around my soul

The king of fools will tell ya, paint it black

But don't sell your soul too cheap

Because we're just here for a sec

My dear my heart is skin and bone

You're not the first or last to go

I'll never chain myself for you

My skin and bones and a muse

Will always have to do
