Skin and Bones Lyrics
I'm gonna ask you
so you understand
What you done with your time
Well, think it over baby
just keep walkin' on
until you find your man
Don't feel so bad
Well, I'm used to that
Don't feel so bad
Get used to that
Don't push it baby
Please don't go too far
I swear I love you
just the way you are
All this justice in my hands
And what you done with your time
Well, I could stand it if I just keep breathin' oh
What you done with your time
Don't feel so bad
Well, I'm used to that
Don't feel so bad
Well, get used to that
Don't push it baby
Please don't go too far
I swear I love you
just the way you are
Skin and bones, baby
Yes, you are my star
I swear I love you
just the way you are
Don't push it baby
Don't push it baby
Don't push it baby
Please don't go too far
I swear I love you
just the way you are
Skin and bones, baby
Yes, you are my star
I swear I love you
just the way you are
Don't push it baby
so you understand
What you done with your time
just keep walkin' on
until you find your man
Well, I'm used to that
Don't feel so bad
Get used to that
Please don't go too far
I swear I love you
just the way you are
And what you done with your time
Well, I could stand it if I just keep breathin' oh
What you done with your time
Well, I'm used to that
Don't feel so bad
Well, get used to that
Please don't go too far
I swear I love you
just the way you are
Yes, you are my star
I swear I love you
just the way you are
Don't push it baby
Please don't go too far
I swear I love you
just the way you are
Yes, you are my star
I swear I love you
just the way you are

THis song confuses me...yes, he's telling a girl not to become anorexic, he loves her (the way she is)...but what I don't get is, does this girl love him back??? I mean, no doubt he loves HER....
"just keep walkin' on until you find your man"
"Don't feel so bad Well, I'm used to that"
i think in this song he is saying, don't change for me, i like you how you are. its a pretty basic concept.
definitely one of my favorites off of the new album.
i agree that he's saying don't change for me, i love you the way you are. but i also think that there's more with the whole "skin and bones" bit. he seems to be talking about some sort of eating disorder that his girl has. he's worried about her and says "don't push it baby" and "i love just the way you are" to get her to feel better about herself and get better.
skin and bones- anorexia. come on, look at everybody today. they feel they need to be perfect and he's saying don't because he will love her anyway.
don't push it, don't go too far he says. exactly.
I agree with all of the comments so far (the whole eating disorder idea, mainly anorexia). And like:
Well, think it over baby just keep walkin' on until you find your man
If a guy doesn't accept her the way she is she should look for another one because there are plenty of guys out there.
That's interesting, Ella. I have no idea.
I like the idea of a boyfriend's point of view on an eating disorder.
I've struggled with maintaining a healthy weight for years, and it's just the kind of thing I wish someone would say to me.
ok for a song about such a depressing topic, like an eating disorder, i could totally listen to it and just rock out forever!! lovin jet!!! some seriously good tune-age!!
