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, I couldn't help but see
Pretty woman
Then you look lovely as can be
Are you lonely just like me?
Wow
Pretty woman, stop a while
Pretty woman, talk a while
Pretty woman, gave 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, hey, okay
If that's the way it must be, okay
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
Oh, oh, pretty woman

My liefste kom na my
Kom sit hier aan my sy
En neem my hand
Om dit styf vas te hou want dit is so koud
Maar in my hart is jy
Warm en lief vir my
Ons twee was altyd een
Deur die jare heen
Jy was maar altyd hier en by my sal jy bly
En so op jou stil manier is jy lief vir my
So was dit al die tyd en so sal dit wees
Net jy alleen vir my deur die jare heen
Die tyd gaan so gou verby en nou is ons oud
Maar steeds is jy naby
Om my hand vas te hou want dit is so koud
Maar in my hart is jy
Warm en lief vir my
Ons twee was altyd een
Deur die jare heen
Jy was maar altyd hier by my sal jy bly
En so op jou stil manier is jy lief vir my
So was dit al die tyd en so sal dit wees
Net jy alleen vir my deur die jare heen
Net jy alleen vir my deur die jare heen
Sundy morning coming down
on Wat Nou
