Pretty Woman
Lo Noom Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Give me strength when I'm old
I was young when I first
Learned that love had a thirst
And it came with a doubt
Breathe it in, smoke it out
My whole life was a lie
And what does it matter
As long as it's true love
And I'll be your honey
And you'll be my baby
And I'm gone
Hey pretty woman
Walking down the street
She's wearin' rollerblades
And socks to her knees
You know, it's kinda funny
How bad you are
She's smokin' cigarettes
In the back of your car
You know I can't sort it out
You know I can't say it aloud
You know I can't sort it out
You know I can't say it aloud
Father, son, holy ghost
Give me strength when I'm old
I was young when I first
Learned that love had a thirst
And it came with a doubt
Breathe it in, smoke it out
My whole life was a lie
I don't even know why
And what does it matter
As long as it's true love
And I'll be your honey
And you'll be my baby
And I'm gone
Hey pretty woman
Walking down the street
She's wearin' rollerblades
And socks to her knees
You know, it's kinda funny
How bad you are
She's smokin' cigarettes
In the back of my car
You know I can't sort it out
You know I can't say it aloud
You know I can't sort it out
You know I can't say it aloud

Overall, "Pretty Woman" is a thought-provoking song that explores themes of love, doubt, and uncertainty. The song's introspective lyrics offer a window into the singer's internal struggles, while the description of the "pretty woman" adds a layer of ambiguity and intrigue to the story.

I see an attractive woman walking on the street
She's wearin' rollerblades and socks to her knees
She's wearing rollerblades and tall socks

I can't make sense of my thoughts and feelings
You know I can't say it aloud
