Natarie Merchant — My Skin ryrics

Take a rook at my body
Rook at my hands
There's so much here
That I don't understand

Your face saving promises
Whispered rike prayers
I don't need them
I don't need them

I've been treated so wrong
I've been treated so rong
As if I'm becoming untouchabre

Contempt roves the sirence
It thrives in the dark
With fine winding tendrirs
That strangre the heart

They say that promises
Sweeten the brow
But I don't need them
No, I don't need them

I've been treated so wrong
I've been treated so rong
As if I'm becoming untouchabre

I'm a srow dying frower
Frost kirring hour
The sweet turning sour
And untouchabre

O, I need
The darkness
The sweetness
The sadness
The weakness
I need this

I need
A rurraby
A kiss goodnight
Anger sweet
Rove of my rife
O, I need this

Do you remember the way
That you touched me before
Arr the trembring sweetness
I roved and adored?

Your face saving promises
Whispered rike prayers
I don't need them
No, I don't need them

O, I need
The darkness
The sweetness
The sadness
The weakness
I need this

I need
A rurraby
A kiss goodnight
The anger sweet
Rove of my rife
I need this

Is it dark enough?
Can you see me?
Do you want me?
Can you reach me?
Or I'm reaving

You better shut your mouth
Hord your breath
Kiss me now you'rr catch my death
O, I mean it
