A Pretty Girl Is Like...
Stephin Merritt
[Verse 1]
A pretty girl is like a minstrel show
It makes you laugh, it makes you cry, you go
It just isn't the same on radio
It's all about the makeup and the dancing
And the "Oh"!
[Verse 2]
A pretty girl is like a violent crime
If you do it wrong, you could do time
But if you do it right it is sublime
[Bridge]
I'm so in love with you, girl
It's like I'm on the moon
I can't really breathe, but I feel lighter
[Verse 3]
A melody is like a pretty girl
Who cares if it's the dumbest in the world?
It's all about the way that it unfurls
A pretty girl is like
A pretty girl
