Flesh and Bone - Shontelle

Yeah, listen carefully

Listen to these words

Baby take a minute let me sit you down

Been waiting for the time and the time is now

I think you should decide where you wanna be

Running in the streets or living here with me

Baby take a step back and look around

Gonna run yourself like you do the ground

You're not invincible and the fact is

Nothing's guaranteed but the darn taxes

[Incomprehensible]

Boy you better listen for you're all alone

When the money's spent and all your friends are gone

Then you're gonna realize you're only flesh and bone, flesh and bone

Then you're gonna realize you're only flesh and bone

Hear me now

Look into my eyes and tell me what you see

Is there any hope that you could ever be

More than just a fish in the sea?

'Cause baby after all if you get cut you're gonna bleed

Try to understand what I'm telling you

This is not a game don't you play the fool

I'm begging won't you hear my plea?

This is not a theory it's reality

[Incomprehensible]

Boy you better listen for you're all alone

When the money's spent and all your friends are gone

Then you're gonna realize you're only flesh and bone, flesh and bone

Then you're gonna realize you're only flesh and bone

Then you're gonna realize

Living in this cold world never easy

Life ain't no sweet bread, that's what my momma told me

I'm getting wise and now I see what she mean

You need to settle down and stop living so extreme

I'm your woman and you know I'll always love you

I'll never do a single thing to exploit you

Life is so precious never take it for granted

How can I make you understand this baby?

[Incomprehensible]

Boy you better listen for you're all alone

When the money's spent and all your friends are gone

Then you're gonna realize you're only flesh and bone, flesh and bone

Then you're gonna realize you're only flesh and bone

You're only flesh and bone, flesh and bone, flesh and bone

When you're in, when you're out

Boy you're gonna learn what it's all about

When you're up, when you're down

Who be there to lift you off the ground now?

When you're high, when you're low

One thing in life you're surely gonna know

Easy come, easy go

In the end you're only flesh and bone

[Incomprehensible]

Boy, you better listen for you're all alone

When the money's spent and all your friends are gone

Then you're gonna realize you're only flesh and bone, flesh and bone

Then you're gonna realize you're only flesh and bone
