Originally started out about a song about Willie my daughter but then i kind of felt trapped by it and after the first verse i felt like i had nowhere to go really......so abandoned that and made it about a young romance in our neighborhood where there is a real clash of cultures...... probably the most fun sounding song i've ever done next to Gonna Be Good.....and was a real fun departure of doing more serious sounding stuff....
Lyrics
THE PRETTIEST GIRL IN THE WORLD
She’s got a boy’s name, but she looks like a woman
She sounds like the rain, i can always hear her coming
She’s no ordinary dame, at least not where i’m from
She must be an heiress to a royal family
Maybe she’s from Paris, or off the coast of Italy
Because nothing about this, is familiar to me at all
Her scent seems to linger, when she’s passing by
One of these days, she's gonna look me in the eye, oh my
She’s the prettiest girl in the world
If i had a chance i would
She’s the prettiest girl in the world
At least in my neighborhood
She’s got a cross around her neck,
A feather hangs from her hair
She’s got a supermodel’s gate,
And a silent era stare
She’s a true original ,
Ain’t no one could compare to her
My heart seems to race, when i see her face,
I wanna take her by the hand and say,
“Lets get out of this place tonight”
She's the prettiest girl in the world
Down on the corner we watch and wait
For her to come struttin through Saint Martin’s Gate
And you can hear her singin......La la la la la la la
There’s a cafe down the block,
Where she likes to read her books
Yeah she’s pretty smart,
At least from the way she looks
Her raven hair it lingers, like some kind of legend
I bet she was born on the southside of heaven
My insides are out and my legs get weak
When she gets too close the only thing i can think is
Hot Damn......
