[Chorus]
When was the last time I told you how pretty you, pretty you are?
Pretty you, pretty you are
And I hope that you know just how pretty you, pretty you are
Pretty you, pretty you are
When I first met you, I told you how pretty you, pretty you are
Pretty you, pretty you are
You were forged in the fire, raised by the city
Thought you would give up on life, you never did it
And you stay so pretty
[Verse 1]
Lord knows, only the Lord knows
How you've been through so much but you keep it so cold
And you hold it all inside, you don't let a thing go
I know that you seen it all but you still never told
Every once in a while, I wonder what's behind your smile
And the days I seen your life and do you wish that you could cry?
I don't know who told you what you goin' through you gotta hide
I know you don't know me well, but I'm someone you can confide in
[Pre-Chorus]
Better believe it
I could be keepin' your secrets
Give you the strength when you're weakest
Picture it, girl, it can be us
Feet in the sand at the beaches
You say you got a man, don't believe you
How could he ever mistreat you?
Girl, I love all of your features
[Chorus]
When was the last time I told you how pretty you, pretty you are?
Pretty you, pretty you are
And I hope that you know just how pretty you, pretty you are
Pretty you, pretty you are
When I first met you, I told you how pretty you, pretty you are
Pretty you, pretty you are
You were forged in the fire, raised by the city
Thought you would give up on life, you never did it
And you stay so pretty
[Verse 2]
When the world seemed ugly, things got rough
Girl, you got knocked down but you got back up
I can feel your pain 'cause I been there too
When you can't let down, who depend on you?
You need somebody that you can combine with
Someone you can grind with
I need somebody that I can get old with
Someone I can grow with
You know, 'cause one plus one, it makes us two
That's what comes to mind when I think of you
[Pre-Chorus]
Better believe it (Baby, you better believe it)
I could be keepin' your secrets (I could be keepin' your secrets)
Give you the strength when you're weakest (Give you the strength when you're weak)
Picture it, girl it, can be us (Be us)
Feet in the sand at the beaches (Feet in the sand at the beaches)
You say you got a man, don't believe you
How could he ever mistreat you? (How could he ever?)
Girl, I love all of your features (Features)
[Chorus]
When was the last time I told you how pretty you, pretty you are?
Pretty you, pretty you are
And I hope that you know just how pretty you, pretty you are
Pretty you, pretty you are
When I first met you, I told you how pretty you, pretty you are
Pretty you, pretty you are
You were forged in the fire (Damn), raised by the city
Thought you would give up on life, you never did it
And you stay so pretty
