On Skinny Little Girl, Hanni el Khatib sings about lies to a loved one, and the regret they cause.
Like many of the tracks of his sophomore record, Skinny Little Girl has a hardhitting garage sound. Nice song to sing along to. And dance.
Skinny little girl like you
Shouldn't be out here on the street alone
Tired and it's getting late
And you keep on lying on the telephone
And she says wait a minute don't hang up
I never thought I'd say this to anyone
I think I'm gonna pray for you (oho)
I think I'm gonna pray for you (oho)
I think I'm gonna pray for you (oho)
I think I'm gonna pray for you (oho)
You wake up in an ice cold sweat
No one you know we're sleeping anywhere near
You try to make your mouth forget
But the heaven knows that you haven't been clear
She says you don't hold me like you used to
So he held her hand and whispered in her ear:
I think I'm gonna pray for you (oho)
I think I'm gonna pray for you (oho)
I think I'm gonna pray for you (oho)
I think I'm gonna pray for you (oho)
So I must stay on my knees (hoohoohoohoohoo)
Right here in the dirt (hoohoohoohoohoo)
With my hands deep in the wound (hoohoohoohoohoo)
Cause even though it may hurt (oooooh)
I think I'm gonna pray for you (oho)
I think I'm gonna pray for you (oho)
I think I'm gonna pray for you (oho)
I think I'm gonna pray for you (oho)
I think I'm gonna pray for you (oho)
I think I'm gonna pray for you (oho)
