Pretty Ones
Duran Duran · Other Songs - Duran Duran
Hipster low slung lazy feet
hit the street latino style
Going down to the disco
where she's gonna star in some fiasco
Anywhere the party's on
break of day - San Tropez to Fresno, she's the type
And another thing... (you pretty ones)
we love the way you are
We'll do anything (you pretty ones)
older than n'est paz
All the pretty ones (you pretty ones)
love the way you are
You pretty ones (you pretty ones)
la la la la la
Here she comes, off the rail - DNA laced with nicotine
Shame the sun
walking proud, talking loud for all you glamour queens
We're going down to the disco
and we're gonna grind out a floor show
Everyday's a change
'round the world - Daddy's girl whoever she may be
And another thing... (you pretty ones)
we love the way you are
We'll do anything (you pretty ones)
older than n'est paz
All the pretty ones (you pretty ones)
love the way you are
You pretty ones (you pretty ones)
la la la la la
