Pretty Girl Songtext / Lyric

Talkin' bout a pretty girl

She got blues behind her eyes

You'd think that sadness and beauty is

an unexpected combination

But you can find it almost anywhere

you go



I'm talking 'bout a pretty girl

Life ain't easy, even when you're cute

People wanna put her in a frame

She can't walk the streets

without them calling her names






The thing about a pretty girl

She carries something people crave

She's like a promise someone broke

She's like a room you're not allowed

to go

She moves like everybody

wants to move

She looks like everybody

wants to look



Talking 'bout a pretty girl

Boys don't leave her on her own

They all want a piece of the cake

she puts on the table

She makes them all feel like they

should do more than they are able



I wanna go to bed now and fall asleep

I wanna wake up in the morning

in a quiet breeze

I don't need the agitation

of a dog in heat

Don't wanna jump around the room

on my tired feet

Lord, give me the power

of a peaceful mind

I wanna leave these rusty ideas behind

Daddy, teach me

'bout love and sensitivity

Teach me

'bout intelligence and positivity

Oh, teach me



Talking 'bout a pretty girl

She lives deep inside of me

Maybe she lives the life I will lead

in another lifetime

Maybe I got a little taste of being free

And that's how I know that

she can never be

She can never be that free

Not that pretty girl

If not even me
