Bones
The Magnettes Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hey there pretty blue eyes I've got a seat right here for you.
Been looking for somebody and I guessing that you're gonna have to do (oh oh ohOooh).
You closed up fine, dapper and you're looking kinda cute, I'll be Buddy Holly and I'll let you be my Peggy Sue (oh oh ohOooh).
Your body is a master piece, but a piece is not enough for me-e-e-e-e.
B-B-B-Baby! Shaking that body so well.
And I'll be crazy, when in my heart is hell.
Gotta lose it up, gotta get on top, and know that I won't stop until I break your bones off.

Got no time for breakfast cus I got somewhere to go.
Gonna leave you shaking gonna let you (?) on your own (ah ah) your own.
Your clothes are ripped to pieces and you're looking kinda broke.
All your friends will wonder what the hell and was it (?) to you (oh oh) to you.

B-B-B-Baby!
Shaking that body so well.
And I'll be crazy, when in my heart is hell.
Gotta lose it up, gotta get on top, and know that I won't stop until I break your bones off (Break you bones off!).

B-B-B-Baby!
I know you are upp in my spell.

Orkar inte mer.
