James Newton Howard
Young and Pretty
[Verse 1]
Come from the suburbs into the city
They say you can make it
If you're young and you're pretty
Dreams must be tall
Ain't it a pity
But they say you can make it
If you're young and you're pretty
[Chorus 1:]
So I sit inside my dressing room
Waiting for the band to play
And I wonder what is left to lose
Where is anyone anyway
[Verse 2:]
I got the neon face from exhaustion
Screaming with promises of what's inside
But nobody's watching
I go for the money, but my wallet's a liar
Nothing inside cause the world is on fire
[Chorus 2 (x2):]
So I give them that old routine
Cause no one listens anyway
When I fight for what it means
God, I wish I had someone here today
[Verse 3:]
Come from the suburbs into the city
They say you can make it
If you're young and you're pretty
Come from the sidelines into the city
They say you can make it
If you're young and you're pretty
[Outro (x4):]
Well, they say you can make it
If you're young and you're pretty
Well, they say you can make it
If you're young and you're pretty
