Skin And Bones Lyrics

Wait a minute let me catch my breath
I tell you darlin' you will be my death
You wrecked my cool and then you tore my dress
I'm gonna put you under house arrest

You wait until there is no one at home
You take my glasses and you hide my phone
You bring that trouble out from parts unknown
And you ain't nothing but skin and bones

Skin and bones
You hurt my confidence with sticks and stones
You wanna handle everything I own
And you ain't nothing but skin and bones

I never thought I'd feel that way again
This is something I can't comprehend
Exactly what the doctor recommends
We're gonna make it baby in the end

Wait a minute let me catch my breath
I tell you darlin' you will be my death
You wrecked my cool and then you tore my dress
I'm gonna put you under house arrest

You wait until there is no one at home
You take my glasses and you hide my phone
You bring that trouble out from parts unknown
And you ain't nothing but skin and bones

Skin and bones
You hurt my confidence with sticks and stones
You wanna handle everything I own
And you ain't nothing but skin and bones

And you ain't nothing but skin and bones

Skin and bones
You hurt my confidence with sticks and stones
You wanna handle everything I own
And you ain't nothing but skin and bones

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
