My Pretty Girl
John Mayall · Other Songs - John Mayall
My pretty girl lying on her furry bed
Pretty as the moonlight
I only want to treat her right
My pretty girl doing something to her hair
My pretty girl dressing up with special care
Pretty as the moonlight
I only want to treat her right
My pretty girl making me feel her man
My pretty girl hugging me when she can
Pretty as the moonlight
I only want to treat her right
My pretty girl sleeping in the still of night
My pretty girl glowing in the candlelight
Pretty as the moonlight
I only want to treat her right
