Pretty Girl Lyrics

[Verse 1:]
Pretty girl, damn shame
You let those homely girls come and take your man
Pretty baby, well, you know, you're looking good
Oh, but these homely girls, they're gonna wreck this neighborhood

[Chorus 1:]
Pretty girl, better watch yourself
Because these homely girls will leave you on the shelf
Pretty baby, yeah, you know you're looking fine
Oh, but these homely girls got a marrying man changing his mind

[Chorus 2:]
Homely baby
(Pretty baby)
Pretty baby
(Homely baby)
Homely baby
(Pretty baby)
Told you just what to do

[Chorus 3:]
Pretty girl, better watch your man
Because these homely girls are raising Cain
Pretty baby, oh, you know you're the real McCoy
Oh, but these homely girls got a marrying man jumping for joy
[Chorus 2]

[Chorus 1]

[Verse 2:]
Pretty girl, you're looking good
Oh, well these homely girls will wreck this neighborhood
Pretty baby, ah, you know she's the real McCoy
Oh, well these homely girls got a marrying man jumping for joy

[Chorus 2]

[Chorus 3]

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
