I'm talkin' bout a pretty girl She got blues behind her eyes You'd think that sadness and beauty Are an unexpected combination But you can find it almost anywhere you go I'm talking 'bout a pretty girl Life ain't easy when you're cute They allwant a piece of the cake she puts on the table She makes them all feel like They should do more than they are able Oh pretty girl, oh pretty girl The thing about a pretty girl She carries something people crave She's like a promise someone broke Like a room you're not allowed to go She moves like everybody wanna move She looks like everybody wanna look Oh pretty girl, oh pretty girl Lord, give me the power of a peaceful mind I wanna leave these old ideas behind Teach me about sensitivity About love and positivity Oh, pretty girl, pretty girl I'm talking 'bout a pretty girl Living deep inside of me Maybe living 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 That free, not that pretty girl If not even me Oh pretty girl, pretty girl Oh pretty girl Oh pretty girl Oh pretty girl Oh pretty girl Oh pretty girl
