about

Written by Katy Pearson. Produced by Pearson/Bringelson

lyrics

They say
You should never want for love
And they say you should have all you want

But what if what you want
Isn't what you have
What do you do
With that

I have a skeleton key
Oh lock me up if you please
And if you do as I please I might take you home with me

I have these old dirty bones
They tell me leave you alone
And if you don't telephone
There will be nobody home

And you can stay a little
Stay a little in my dirty bones
I've made this house a home
Oh just stay a little in my empty arms
I've got these wicked charms
Not to cause alarm

Don't trust these ribbons or cards
They're gonna rip you apart
And if you think you're so smart
You're standing out in the dark
Instead of inside these bones
And if you don't telephone
There will be nobody home

And you can stay a little
Stay a little in my dirty bones
I've made this house a home
Oh just stay a little in my empty arms
I've got these wicked charms
Not to cause alarm

I let you in
Then kicked you out
Certain a lie
Certain of doubt
You let me in
Then kicked me out
Certain of love
Certain of doubt

Bring back
My Skeleton Key
Oh

And you can stay a little stay a little
In my dirty bones
I've made this house a home
Kicking and a screaming
Oh just Stay a little stay a little
In my empty arms
I've got these wicked charms
Not to cause alarm.
