Pretty Girl Why

[Verse 1]

Like the ghost of someone dear

She comes to haunt me in my sleep

Still unable to sincerely

Give her heart away for keeps

[Chorus]

Pretty girl, why?

Pretty girl, why not love me?

Pretty girl, why?

Pretty girl, why?

[Verse 2]

There she leaves me twice as lonely

As I was but yesterday

Keeping such a hold upon my thoughts

So near yet far away

[Chorus]

Pretty girl, why?

Pretty girl, why not love me?

Pretty girl, why?

Pretty girl, why?

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]

The minstrel boy has gone to war now

Burdened with his father's sword

Still, she doesn't see how she can

Give him peace amidst the horror

[Chorus]

Pretty girl, why?

Pretty girl, why not love me?

Pretty girl, why?

Pretty girl, why?
