Over the years Pretty Maids have sold hundreds of thousands of records, but have never broken through in a major way. They have supported such well known acts as Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, Alice Cooper, Saxon, Nazareth and were also featured at the 1987 German version of Monsters of Rock where Metallica headlined along with Deep Purple.
The new 2006 album "Wake Up to the Real World" shows the band back in former glory. Great hard rock/melodic rock with a metal touch to it. The album includes a cover of Deep Purple's classic gem "Perfect Strangers". Pretty Maids is currently signed to Frontiers Records.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I wonder where you've been
Now what're you trying to cover girl
Why didn't you let me in
You're driven by desire
You see I read between the lines
So why do you feed thefire baby
When things could work out fine
Well I just wanna touch you baby
Feel your heat inside
Don't you turn your back on me
I need your love right here tonight
I'm a heartbeat from Heaven
On a hide-out from Hell
I get high on your reply
Baby say you will
Tonight and forever
Stay by my side
Well I just wanna take you girl
On a never-ending ride
And each and every day girl
I'm down that widing road
It's like this desperate heart of mine'll
Switch to overload
You're animal emotion
I'm watching all your moves
You leave me in a cold sweat babe
Now what're you trying to prove
And everytime I call you
There's no answer to the phone
I'll be there to hold you girl
If you find your way back home
When I see that growing fire in your eyes
No matter what you do or say
It' killing me inside
