Skinny Boy
Isak strand Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's not that I don't want you baby I really do
I want you to know that I got you on my mind
I don't really know you baby or what you're about
But I saw you bathing naked in the moonlight
With your fingers on my skin we'll commit this sin chin to chin
For the third time if it's still to come

You're the kind of girl I kind of wanna be with
You're the kind of girl I want
You're the kind of girl I kind of wanna be with
You're the kind of girl I want

It's not like I'm obsessed or anything I might be out on a limb here
But two times not enough no to times not enough
I know I'm just a poor skinny boy from Sweden
But you're my neighbor so show me some love
You're my neighbor so show me some love

You're the kind of girl I kind of wanna be with
You're the kind of girl I want
You're the kind of girl I kind of wanna be with
You're the kind of girl I want

It might be a forgery this memory
But if it is then let it be so
Some times when you tell a lie a lot of times
You might believe that it's true
But where does it end do we start a new begin
Where does it end

I know I'm just a poor skinny boy from Sweden
But you're my neighbor so show me some love
You're my neighbor so show me some love

You're the kind of girl I kind of wanna be with
You're the kind of girl I want




You're the kind of girl I kind of wanna be with
You're the kind of girl I want

I don't really know you baby or what you're about
