Pretty Music
[Verse 1]
Don't ya think that’s pretty music?
Those fellas sure can play
It’s a cryin' shame these folks ain’t dancin'
Yessiree, that's pretty music—
Always makes a better day
So you had to let your baby go?
Sittin' next to me, just proves you never know
[Verse 2]
Yes indeed, that's pretty music
Look how we tap our feet—
Maybe we got something else in common
I could dance some pretty music
If they play it slow and sweet
Maybe you're afraid you'll go too far
Maybe no one told you just how good you are
[Bridge]
That’s it! That’s right!
I knew I had a method to make you smile!
That’s it! That’s right!
I knew you'd been blue for a good long while!
Your baby cut through her tether
My baby’s gone like the weather
Looks like we're stuck here together!
You’re light as a feather, I'm deep in denial!
[Verse 3]
So don'tcha stop that pretty music!
Sure makes me feel alive!
If I can dance with you today
Who cares what all those losers say?
Your baby’s gone, it’s true
But look at what's standin' in front of you!
So shake your booty
And let the music play!
