Skinny Little Girl Lyrics

Skinny little girl like you, shouldn't be out here on the street alone.
Tired and it's getting late and you keep on lyin' on the telephone.

He says, wait a minute don't hang up.
I never thought I'd say this to anyone.

I think I'm gonna pray for you.
I think I'm gonna pray for you.
I think I'm gonna pray for you.
I think I'm gonna pray for you.

You wake up in an ice cold sweat.
No one you know is sleeping anywhere near.
You try to make your mouth forget.
But the heaven's know that you haven't been clear.

And she says, you don't hold me like you used to.
So he held her hand and whispered in her ear.

I think I'm gonna pray for you
I think I'm gonna pray for you
I think I'm gonna pray for you
I think I'm gonna pray for you

So I must stay on my knees.
Right here in the dirt.
With my hands deep in the wound.
Cuz even though it may hurt.

I think I'm gonna pray for you.
I think I'm gonna pray for you.
I think I'm gonna pray for you.
I think I'm gonna pray for you.

I think I'm gonna pray for you.
I think I'm gonna pray for you.

Skinny little girl like you, shouldn't be out here on the street alone.
Tired and it's getting late and you keep on lyin' on the telephone.

He says, wait a minute don't hang up.
I never thought I'd say this to anyone.

I think I'm gonna pray for you.
I think I'm gonna pray for you.
I think I'm gonna pray for you.
I think I'm gonna pray for you.

You wake up in an ice cold sweat.
No one you know is sleeping anywhere near.
You try to make your mouth forget.
But the heaven's know that you haven't been clear.

And she says, you don't hold me like you used to.
So he held her hand and whispered in her ear.

I think I'm gonna pray for you
I think I'm gonna pray for you
I think I'm gonna pray for you
I think I'm gonna pray for you

So I must stay on my knees.
Right here in the dirt.
With my hands deep in the wound.
Cuz even though it may hurt.

I think I'm gonna pray for you.
I think I'm gonna pray for you.
I think I'm gonna pray for you.
I think I'm gonna pray for you.

I think I'm gonna pray for you.
I think I'm gonna pray for you.

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.
