IN SKIN ONLY words and music by Shellen Lubin No, I won’t cry You’ve sucked me dry of all my tears Yes, I’ll miss you But I’ve been missing you for years I long ago gave up believing Anything you say And in a way I’ve just been waiting for this day So go Don’t expect me on my knees Just go No, I won't beg you please Yes, it will be hard to begin alone But easier than now You’re here in skin only Don’t know what happened To the girl who thought that I was king Believed in all our dreams Thought I could do anything Burst into bright smiles, ran to my arms And held me fast But that's the past I should have known it wouldn't last So go Don’t expect me on my knees Just go No, I won't beg you please Yes, it will be hard to begin alone But easier than now You’re here in skin only To drink your fill To sleep the night To blame someone To fight Maybe somewhere's A girl who harbors me no ill And maybe somewhere's A space that only I can fill So go . . . © 2004 Bondrov Music Characters couched within characters -- written to be sung by Robert John Cook, one of the male singers I direct and coach -- changed a few words so that it would make more sense with a woman singing it . . . |
