All The Pretty Girls

All the pretty girls on a Saturday night

So I call your name, cross my fingers

uncross the others, hesitate.

I don't think straight with nothing to prove.

.

I don't wanna say I'm leaving

so I'll stay until the weekend.

And you can take all your things;

the boxes and rings

and get going.

.

'Cause I've been waiting for...

.

All the pretty girls on a Saturday night.

Let it be, and come to me with the look in your eyes.

Will you break and take all the worlds from my mouth?

I wish all the pretty girls were shaking me down.

.

So I call you out

Just to feel a little better about myself

And I do, baby I do.

'Til their lips start to move,

and their friends wanna talk music

I say "I've never heard the tune!"

But I have, I just hate the band

'cause they remind me of you.

.

Every single night ends up the same,

I don't say much at all, but I bring up your name.

and over and

I think it's striking me out.

.

All the pretty girls on a Saturday night

Let it be, and come with me with the look in your eyes.

Will you break and take all the words from my mouth?

I wish all the pretty girls were shaking me down.

But not you,

you still wear boots and your hair is too long

and then this one doesn't want to admit she's fallen in love

Oh c'mon, oh c'mon, what's a boy to do

When all the pretty girls can't measure to you?

.

I don't understand your reasons

Please just stay over the weekend

You can't take all those things

They define you and me

everything we've become,

You're all that I need

Please don't make me face my generation alone.

.

All the pretty girls on a Saturday night.

Let it be, and come with me with the look in your eyes.

Will you break and take all the words from my mouth?

I wish all the pretty girls were shaking me down.

But not you,

.

I feel your faith is destroying the world

and then this one never really understood

the 80s is over and done

Oh c'mon, what's a boy to do,

when all the pretty girls can't measure to you?
