Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Pretty woman, the kind I like to meet
Pretty woman, I don't believe you
You're not the truth
No one could look as good as you
Mercy
Pretty woman, won't you pardon me
Pretty woman, and you look lovely as can be
Are you lonely just like me
Pretty woman, stop a while
Pretty woman, talk a while
Pretty woman, give your smile to me
Pretty woman, yeah, yeah, yeah
Pretty woman, look my way
Pretty woman, say you'll stay with me
Cause I need you
I'll treat you right
Come with me baby
Be mine tonight
Pretty woman, don't walk on by
Pretty woman, don't make me cry
Pretty woman, don't walk away
OK
If that's the way it must be, ok
I guess I'll go on home, it's late
There'll be tomorrow night
But wait, what do I see?
Is she walking back to me?
Yeah, she's walking back to me
O-oh
Pretty woman.
The lyrics to Bad Company's song "Pretty Woman" are about a man who is drawn to a beautiful woman he meets walking down the street. He is immediately taken by her charm and beauty, and can't help but be captivated by her presence. Despite his initial skepticism that such a woman could be real, he finds himself drawn to her and begging for her attention. He pleads with her to stay with him, promising to treat her right and begging her not to walk away.
The lyrics present a classic tale of love at first sight and the desire for human connection. They show how beauty and charm can be powerful draws, but ultimately what we crave is someone who will be loyal and loving. Despite his initial reservations about the woman's appearance, the singer realizes that what he truly needs is someone to connect with on an emotional level. The song is a testament to the power of attraction and the importance of finding someone who truly understands and supports us.
