ニュージーランドの女性歌手。
2014年のMTVヨーロッパ・ミュージック・アワード 最優秀ニュージーランド・アクト賞にノミネートされた。

ミュージック・ヴィデオを見た時は「本当の自分を他人はわかっていない」という趣旨の曲だと思いました。
無論それはある程度当たっているのですが、歌詞を読んでみると、日常的に耳にするようなよくある話であることがわかります。

帰宅した夫（あるいは彼氏）に妻（あるいは彼女）が色々と話しかけるものの、相手は上の空で食事をしつつ、TVで野球（サッカー・ボクシング・プロレス）に気を取られている。
「いいかげんにしてよ。アタシとTVとどっちが大切なのっ！アタシはあなたの一体何なのよ？」と彼女が怒りケンカに発展する…という内容です。

I wish that you could see
Who I really am.
It sucks being a woman,
In love with an unkind man,
Cause baby I would give you the world,
In fact, I already do.
And how do you repay that?
Talk to me like I’m just a regular tramp tryna screw you
Over, do you even have a clue
What I gave up just to be here,
To serve your ass with steak and beer?

Baby that’s love
Baby that’s real
And all I’ve ever wanted was for your damn arms
To wrap themselves around me and say

Hey, girl you’re the prettiest thing my eyes have ever seen
Come and lay your bones down with me
Come and lay your bones down with me
Hey girl you’re the prettiest thing my heart has ever known
Come and lay your bones down with me
Come and lay your bones down with me

I’m not tryna play the victim
Don’t wanna go head to head
But boy I shouldn’t have to stand in the mirror
Convincing myself I’m fair
Baby that’s your job to do
Baby you should think I’m beautiful
Why you wanna watch the set
When I’m layin’ right next to you in our own room
I feel like you don’t even know I’m there
But I put a brush through my hair for you
Run my fingertips over your back real smooth

Cause boy I need love
I don’t get enough
And all I’ve ever wanted was for your damn arms
To put themselves around me and say

Hey, girl you’re the prettiest thing my eyes have ever seen
Come and lay your bones down with me
Come and lay your bones down with me
Hey girl you’re the prettiest thing my heart has ever known
Come and lay your bones down with me
Come and lay your bones down with me

I look you dead in the eye and say I love you
In the eye and say I want you
In the eye and say this is what I’m asking for
How can you sit and stare at the wall
Do you even like me at all?
Start talking ‘bout makin’ it better
It ain’t that complicated
I just wanna feel your arms around me, babe
Please say…

Girl you’re the prettiest thing my eyes have ever seen
Come and lay your bones down with me
Come and lay your bones down with me
Hey girl you’re the prettiest thing my heart has ever known
Come and lay your bones down with me
Come and lay your bones down with me

Please, please baby
It’s a woman’s dream
