Ernie Halter has recently become a licensed pilot he released his latest single with Amarrai Cabell Ernie Halter grew up during a short but important technological era – “The Cassette Generation” – with a collection that included the Beatles Abbey Road, Billy Joel’s Glass Houses, and Elton John’s Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy. However the very first tape Halter ever bought, was Go-Go’s Beauty and the Beat. Halter recalls, “Belinda Carlisle was a little hottie, and even at 6 years old, I knew this to be true.” Halter also tuned into the FM dial on a regular basis during his childhood, staying glued to the radio as he soaked up all the pop goodness. During his college years, a friend made him a mix tape of Stevie Wonder’s greatest hits, which he played over and over until he knew every note…but we’re getting more .

Pretty Girl
Ernie Halter Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
In Ernie Halter's song "Pretty Girl," the singer admires a girl he thinks is perfect in every way, but she doesn't see herself that way. The girl he is talking about is so widely admired, with boys secretly lusting after her, and other girls wishing they had her eyes. However, she doesn't seem to think she's as great as everyone else says she is.
The singer, on the other hand, is completely mesmerized by her, noticing every word she speaks and every move she makes. He sees her as close to ideal, but she cannot see herself that way. She always seems to want to be better, never satisfied with what she is or what she has achieved.
The chorus is about the trance of love that she has cast on the singer, and he never wants it to 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.
