Skin & Bones
Romance on a Rocketship Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I know I'm nothing but skin and bones
But I sure think you're beautiful
With your long long hair
And your big blue eyes
I've been thinking about making you mine tonight
I know I'm nothing but skin and bones
But I sure think your beautiful
With your long long hair
And your big blue eyes
I've been thinking about making you mine tonight
Hush your lips
I'm about to speak
If I talk real slow
do you think you can keep up with me
This time
Am I outta line
I'm trying to be a gentlemen
So please don't make me ask again
Yeah I've got a lot of nerve
Coming up to you
But your the only thing that's on my mind
So what's a boy to do?
Let me keep this short and sweet
Your the prettiest thing that I ever did see
I know I'm nothing but skin and bones
But I sure think your beautiful
With your long long hair
And your big blue eyes
I'm thinking about making you mine tonight
I know I'm nothing but skin and bones
But I sure think you're beautiful
With your long long hair
And your big blue eyes
I'm thinking about making you mine tonight
Don't let me go
If I'm dangling
High above the world
Where the angels sing
Back it up
Let's turn this train around
Let's get this party hopping
Till we're shaking the ground
When the ground starts shaking
I'll be there to hold you tight
Don't worry about a thing 'cause everything will be alright
Let me keep this short and sweet
There's not a lot I wouldn't do to sweep you off your feet
I know I'm nothing but skin and bones
But I sure think you're beautiful
With your long long hair
And your big blue eyes
I'm thinking about making you mine tonight
I know I'm nothing but skin and bones
But I sure think you're beautiful
With your long long hair
And your big blue eyes
I've been thinking about making you mine tonight
Don't let me go
Baby please don't let me go
Don't let me go
Baby please don't let me go
I know I'm nothing but skin and bones
Buy I sure think you're beautiful
With your long long hair
And your big blue eyes
I've been thinking about making you mine tonight
I know I'm nothing but skin and bones
but I sure think you're beautiful
With your long long hair




And your big blue eyes
I've been thinking about making you mine tonight
