Pretty Girl - Some Velvet Morning

I was ready to leave

Until I saw you walk through.

& now you’re looking at me

Like I’ve been looking at you.

Take a look around you,

You stand out a mile.

There’d be no-one here without you,

And so I ask myself why?

You’re such a pretty girl

That’s such a pretty dress

So what’s a pretty girl doing in a place like this?

Cold hearts and cocaine smiles

Are all that’s here inside

So what’s a pretty girl doing in a place like this?

The room could burn to the ground

For all that anyone cares.

That’s why it’s hard to believe

Someone like you is standing there.

Take a look around you,

A world made of white.

There is no-one here quite like you

Are you lonesome tonight?

You’re such a pretty girl

That’s such a pretty dress

So what’s a pretty girl doing in a place like this?

Where lovers, friends and fans

Are measured out in grams.

What’s a pretty girl doing in a place like this?

To me it almost seems absurd
