Skinny Lyrics by Filter

The Very Best Things (1995-2008)

1999

[Verse 1]
So here you are in your small little world
Kept up like a little precious virgin girl
To hear about your grace and your silly face
Wrapped up like a knot in a ball of shoelace
And every time I talk to you
It sounds like you're caught in a psychological flu

[Pre-Chorus]
Don't ever let them see you cheat
Don't ever let them see you bleed
Don't ever let them shake your hand
Don't ever let them believe that scam

[Chorus]
(Skinny) And it will make you cry
(Skinny) And it will make you lie
(Skinny) And if it makes you soft inside
(Skinny) At least you will not die

[Verse 2]
And if you take a good look at them
All caught up in their graciousless win
Every sin is their seamless smile
Will go on for a countless while
And just because they think they won
It just means that the shit has just begun

[Pre-Chorus]
Don't ever let them see you cheat
Don't ever let them see you beat
And don't ever let them shake your hand
And don't ever let them believe that scam!

[Chorus]
(Skinny) And it will make you cry
(Skinny) And it will make you lie
(Skinny) And if it makes you soft inside
(Skinny) At least you will not die

[Outro]
Yeah!
(Skinny)
(Skinny)
Yeah!
