Pretty in Pink
Social Distortion Lyrics

Caroline laughs and it's raining all day
Caroline finds joy in the little things, even amidst unpleasant conditions.

She loves to be one of the girls
She enjoys being part of a group or community of women.

She lives in the place in the side of our lives
She inhabits a unique or overlooked space in our world.

Where nothing is ever put straight
A chaotic and confusing environment surrounds her.

She turns herself 'round and she smiles and she says
She puts on a brave face when faced with adversity.

'This is it, that's the end of the joke'
She confronts and ends the negative situation with a show of strength.

And loses herself in her dreaming and sleep
She escapes into her dreams to find solace.

And her lovers walk through in their clothes
Her past paramours continue to influence her thoughts and actions.

She's pretty in pink
Despite everything, she maintains a facade of beauty and glamour.

Isn't she

All of her lovers all talk of her notes
Her exes reminisce about love letters and messages she wrote to them.

And the flowers that they never sent
They regret not showing her more affection while they had the chance.

And wasn't she easy
They view her as a conquest or a prize to be won.

And isn't she pretty in pink
They continue to idealize her despite her flaws and mistakes.

The one who insists he was first in the line
One of her exes claims to have been her primary love interest.

Is the last to remember her name
He is the only one who still holds onto the memory of her.

She's walking around
Even with all the attention and admiration, she still feels lost and alone.

In this dress that she wore
She clings to pieces of her past to remind herself of who she once was.

She is gone
Despite still being physically present, she feels emotionally distant.

But the joke's the same
Her situation has not changed, despite her efforts to change it.

Caroline talks to you softly sometimes
She has a gentle manner of speaking and communicating.

She says 'I love you' and 'Too much'
She has trouble controlling her emotions and expressing her feelings in a healthy way.

She doesn't have anything you want to steal
She possesses nothing of value or interest to others.

Well, nothing you can touch
The valuable aspects of her life are intangible and unquantifiable.

She waves
Her friendly gestures invite connection and communication.

She unbuttons your shirt
She acts boldly and impulsively in order to satisfy desire.

The traffic is waiting outside
The outside world continues to move on and progress, even if it doesn't directly affect her.

She hands you her coat
She shows kindness and generosity to others.

She gives you her clothes
She shares parts of herself, even if it leaves her exposed or vulnerable.

These cars collide
The lives of individuals intersect and clash, often with unpredictable consequences.

Pretty in pink
Despite everything, she maintains a facade of beauty and glamour.

Isn't she
