Pretty Girls
Prozzäk Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh ya...
Come on...
Oh ya...
Come on...

If I were a dentist I would take the opportunity to look in your mouth
Girl Voice: whee-ohh-whee-ohh
Maybe if I did then I would better understand just what you're talking about
Girl Voice: whee-ohh-whee-ohh
And if my x-ray picture gave the proper information I'd be back at the start
'Cause every time I try and talk to you my words keep falling apart

Oh ya...Oh ya...Oh ya...
Pretty girls make me nervous
Come on...Come on...Come on...
Pretty girls make me nervous
Oh ya...Oh ya...Oh ya...
Pretty girls make me nervous
Come on...Come on...Come on...
When they're as pretty as you

And if I was a surgeon I would do an operation to examine your heart
Girl Voice: whee-ohh-whee-ohh
I'd check to see if you and me could really ever move beyond the very start
Girl Voice: whee-ohh-whee-ohh
And if my diagnosis turned out positive I'd still be only dreaming of you
'Cause approaching you is something that I know I'd never have the guts to do

Chorus

And when she smiles she makes me happy
And when she gets near I get so dreamy ah...
And in my award-winning dream I perform like I was on a movie screen
As I casually pop the question

Do you wanna go out for coffee with me?
Minnie ... "I don't drink coffee"

If I were a lawyer I would argue for the right to kiss you passionately
Girl Voice: whee-ohh-whee-ohh
And if I were a teacher I would rewrite history so you would end up with me
Girl Voice: whee-ohh-whee-ohh
And if I were an architect then I'd be busy drawing up the perfect plan
But of all of these things above so alone is the only thing I am





Chorus X 2

Overall Meaning

The song "Pretty Girls" by Prozzäk paints a picture of a hopeless romantic who is drawn to beautiful women but finds himself too nervous to make a move. The lyrics express the internal conflict and frustration of the singer who wishes he could move beyond his fear of rejection. The first two verses employ different hypothetical scenarios to describe how the singer would have seized an opportunity to connect with his crush, but eventually find that he is still too afraid to do so. In the third verse, he engages in a conversation with his crush and imagines asking her out for coffee but finds that the rejection is still too unbearable.


The lyrics are a wistful and self-deprecating tribute to the fear and anxiety that accompanies romantic pursuit. They reflect the idea that beautiful people often hold a power over us, which in turn makes us feel anxious and all too unsure of ourselves. The use of the female voice in the background also adds a layer of complexity to the lyrics and suggests that the singer's anxiety might stem from a sense of distance and inaccessibility of his object of desire.


Line by Line Meaning

If I were a dentist I would take the opportunity to look in your mouth
If I were a dentist, I would take the chance to get to know you better.


Maybe if I did then I would better understand just what you're talking about
Looking at your mouth could give me insight into your personality and character.


And if my x-ray picture gave the proper information I'd be back at the start
Even with dental technology, I still can't figure out what to say to you.


'Cause every time I try and talk to you my words keep falling apart
I get so nervous around you that I can't even speak properly.


Pretty girls make me nervous
I get anxious around attractive women.


When they're as pretty as you
Especially when you're around, because you're so beautiful.


And if I was a surgeon I would do an operation to examine your heart
If I had the chance, I would deep dive into understanding your feelings towards me.


I'd check to see if you and me could really ever move beyond the very start
I want to know if we can be more than just acquaintances.


And if my diagnosis turned out positive I'd still be only dreaming of you
Even if I found out you felt the same way about me, I still wouldn't know how to pursue you.


'Cause approaching you is something that I know I'd never have the guts to do
I'm too intimidated by your beauty to make a move on you.


When she smiles she makes me happy
Your smile brightens my day.


And when she gets near I get so dreamy ah...
Just being around you puts me in a daydreaming state.


As I casually pop the question
In my fantasy, I'm suave and confident when I ask you out.


Do you wanna go out for coffee with me?
I hope to have the courage to ask you out for coffee.


If I were a lawyer I would argue for the right to kiss you passionately
As a lawyer, I would try to persuade you to give me a chance at love.


And if I were a teacher I would rewrite history so you would end up with me
If I were a teacher, I would change history to make you mine.


And if I were an architect then I'd be busy drawing up the perfect plan
As an architect, I would spend time designing the perfect way to win your heart.


But of all of these things above so alone is the only thing I am
Despite my aspirations, I'm still alone and lacking the courage to pursue you.

11 year old me, teen me and now 34 year old still loves this.

@KhallDrake

Prozzak got me through some pretty tough points in my life when I just couldn’t figure anything else. Interestingly, every time something comes up I go back and listen. What, 20-25 years later and it still helps

@mvrrky

My sister used to play this one on repeat growing up, and it's always stuck with me! Honestly how I got into Prozzäk, much love from the U.S!

@LAngeCosmique

My first Prozzäk song. First heard it in like 2014, in an old AMV from 2007. It remained the only thing I knew from the band until last year when I finally looked deeper. I have quite the nostalgia for it!

@yishaqdavid2029

IS this new?
NVM I remember. This is old.

@tabi9213
