Pretty Girl
Ernie Halter Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Most girls wish that they had your eyes
And boys secretly fantasize
Who me? I am just mesmerized by your every word and movement

You are close as a girl can be to ideal
Somehow you disagree
The whole world sees perfection
But all you see is room for more improvement

Chorus:
Silly girl, pretty girl
Do you not see?
What a spell your sweet love has cast on me
Girl I pray it never will
This trance be broken

I melt in your mouth when you talk to me
I want to kiss you so slow so sweet
You are a book that I want to read
Embrace cover to cover

Girl you?re so deep inside
You?re my DNA
You?re how tall I am
You?re how much I weigh
You?re the reason that someone had penned the phrase
To know her is to love her
And I love her

CHORUS

Everything you do is from some movie scene
Every pose you strike is from some magazine
I want to turn your pages

CHORUS





Oh girl I pray, it never will, this trance be broken

He is so deeply in love with this girl that he wants to kiss her slowly and sweetly, and he compares her to a book he wants to read from cover to cover. The singer sees her as part of his DNA, and he loves everything about her.


Overall, the song is about the singer's deep admiration for this girl, who he sees as perfect, but she can't see what he sees. He is under her spell and never wants to be released.
