Lyrics

PRETTY GIRL
MUSIC AND LYRICS By Eva Margolies and Adam Levy

Hair up in ribbons, eyelashes flutter
Not even quite three feet tall
All smiles and giggles, twirling and dancing.
Already a star, the belle of the ball.
Daddy is wrapped around her little finger
Mama is beaming with wonder and pride
She'll be a pretty girl, a pretty girl
She'll be such a pretty girl
In her time

A girl turns to woman, she wears her hair down now
Lipstick, and a little bare shoulder
Confidence makes her magnetic
Her friends want to be her, the men want to hold her.
She feels their eyes follow, knows her own power
Loves them and leaves them and turns on a dime
She is a pretty girl, a pretty girl
She is a pretty girl
In her prime.

A rose is destined to fade
It's a part of the plan
Yesterday they all called her sweetheart
Today they just call her Ma'am.

She sees her reflection in a store window
A face both familiar and strange
Wrinkles are etching the change on the outside.
But inside she still feels the same
No one is looking with lust or desire
She wistfully smiles , she's had her time to shine
She was a pretty girl, (3X)
in her time.
