Lyrics
Pretty Girl
Ben Bauman, Scott Riggan, Randy Thomas
Copyright 2000 Pleasant View Music
So, you're into the lights
You come alive while the camera flashes
Slow burn in your eyes
A cigarette and a book of matches
You hold the world in your hand
You won't let go...
Pretty girl, pretty girl
Everybody's watching
Everyone in the world
Wants to be you
Pretty girl, pretty girl
(What do you want? What do you want?)
You skip me like a stone
Nobody sees what's beneath the surface
Your a diamond alone
In a sea of the dime-store worthless
You hold the world in your hands
You can't let go...
Pretty girl, pretty girl
Everybody's watching
Everyone in the world
Wants to be you
Pretty girl, pretty girl
What do you want from life?
What do you want from Versace?
What do you want from Cosmo?
What do you want?
Pretty girl, pretty girl
Everybody's watching
Everyone in the world
Wants to be you
Pretty girl, pretty girl
(What do you want? What do you want?)
