Artist/Band: Roy Orbison
Lyrics for Song: Oh, Pretty Woman
Lyrics for Album: The Monument Singles: A-Sides (1960-1964) [2011]



Pretty woman, walking down the street

Pretty woman, the kind I like to meet

Pretty woman

I don't believe you, you're not the truth

No one could look as good as you

Mercy



Pretty woman, won't you pardon me

Pretty woman, I couldn't help but see

Pretty woman

That you look lovely as can be

Are you lonely just like me

Wow



Pretty woman, stop a while

Pretty woman, talk a while

Pretty woman, give your smile to me

Pretty woman, yeah yeah yeah

Pretty woman, look my way

Pretty woman, say you'll stay with me

'Cause I need you, I'll treat you right

Come with me baby, be mine tonight



Pretty woman, don't walk on by

Pretty woman, don't make me cry

Pretty woman, don't walk away, hey...okay

If that's the way it must be, okay

I guess I'll go on home, it's late

There'll be tomorrow night, but wait

What do I see

Is she walking back to me

Yeah, she's walking back to me

Oh, oh, Pretty woman


Oh, Pretty Woman
