Story behind the song
Just thinking how about messy things get when a woman might imagine the grass greener on the other side. No matter how far it goes, somebody is bound to get hurt.
Lyrics
Pretty One (3:40 minutes-short, 5:04 minutes-extended) You said that you were coming, he waited all night long You said you were coming, instead the morning's come You were going to take a stand, you had the perfect plan Meet a lover on, the borderline, and together you would ride Chorus But where are you now my pretty one, now that the night has gone Have you had a change of heart, are you back in his arms, Don't you think that he could have held out till dawn. Now the morning is coming up, and the sun is on the rise Don't you think that I could use a cup, now that I realize Just what you've been thinking, cause you heard me read your mind Cry now cause your life is in ruins, while your at it, won't you cry for mine Chorus, (So look at you now…) But for your persistence, and even if you choose A path of least resistance, someone is going to loose Now we're sharing those late night stars, but from different points of view And it's tearing me apart, this reflection of him laying with you Chorus, (Look at me now) - Finish here for short version Optional extended version Harp and guitar instrumental for full verse Chorus, (Look at me now) Written by:Jacques Goudreault SOCAN ©
