Shirts and Skins

It's an old and wicked game we play

Two lovers lost and gone astray

Taking sides before we even

Know what we wanna say

We both know just how it all begins

Shirts and skins

I'm the fool that's gotta fight

As if being cruel could make it right

It's easier to see you when I'm

I'm standing in your light

Instead of waiting on them needles and pins

Shirts and skins

And I don't know who's right or wrong anymore

And I don't wanna fight I'm just too tired of keeping score

And counting sins

And playing shirts and skins

If I had one more time around

I'd sneak to your room without a sound

I'd hold you till the morning comes

When all the stars close down

Everybody knows nobody wins

Playing shirts and skins
