Pretty
Michael Carreon Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hey. How do you do?
It's such a nice day and I couldn't help but notice you.
Here's what I might say
but there goes my queue
i've done this again that's okay
but anyone that pretty on the outside
has gotta be that pretty on the inside
i know i'm not good at this
i guess it takes practice




but maybe you're no good at this too
i wish that i had it in me.

Overall Meaning

In Michael Carreon's song "Pretty," the singer approaches someone they find attractive and tries to strike up a conversation. However, they stumble over their words and miss their chance to introduce themselves. Despite their nerves, the singer believes that someone as beautiful on the outside as this person must also be just as lovely on the inside. They acknowledge that they may not be skilled at flirting or charming someone, but they hope that the other person is in the same boat as them.


These lyrics speak to the anxiety and uncertainty that can come with trying to express interest in someone. The singer is vulnerable and honest about their nerves, which makes the listener feel empathy towards them. It also sends a message that people should not be too quick to judge someone based on their outer appearance alone, and that true beauty comes from someone's personality and character.
