Lyrics

Pretty One

[Verse 1]

Was your dad a good glassmaker?

Was your dad a good glassmaker?

'Cause I can't see through you at all

No, I can't see through you at all

Was your dad a good glassmaker?

Was your dad a good glassmaker?

'Cause I can't see through you at all

No, I can't see through you at all

[Chorus]

There's something wrong, I turn it on

I can't control it

There's something wrong, pretty one

I can't hold it

[Verse 2]

Was your mom a goodness-saker?

Was your mom a goodness-saker?

'Cause I don't believe her daughter

And I can't relate you to her

I guess you're just the best heartbreaker (breaker)

All in all the best heartbreaker (breaker)

But you won't be breaking my fall

But you won't break nothin' at all

[Chorus]

There's something wrong, when I turn it on

I can't control it

There's something wrong, pretty one

I can't hold it

[Break]

[Chorus]

There's something wrong, when I turn it on

I can't control it

There's something wrong, pretty one

I can't hold it

There's something wrong, pretty one

I can't control it

There's something wrong, pretty one

I can't hold it

[Outro]

I can't get it out

I can't (I can't) get it out

I can't (I can't) get it out

No, I can't get it out

No, I can't get it out

I can't get it out

I'm gettin' away, I can't go

I can't get it out

I can't (I can't) get it out

I can't (I can't) get it out

I'm gettin' away, I can't go

No, I can't get it out

No, I can't get it out
