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? 

Control your pebble before he turn to stone 
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 know 

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 

Control your pebble before he turn to stone 
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 by 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 

Control your pebble before he turn to stone 
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)
