All These Pretty Girls
I'm stranded down in the subway station
while the train shoots down the rails
I've caught her face but I'm a minute too late
I'm feeling pained 'cause I know I failed
in catching the one that seems most likely
to effortlessly change my world
I've gotta stop putting so much stock
in all of these pretty girls
I've rearranged my plans tonight
'cause I heard that you'd be waiting in the wings
You've gone and changed but that's alright
so long as I can hear you sing
'Cause every note that escapes your throat
sends me to another world
I've gotta stop putting so much stock
in all of these pretty girls
Sugar and spice and everything nice
never go hand in hand
The sweeter they seem the harder they bite
that's something that I'll never understand
I tried to hail the same cab you climbed in
so I could get closer to you
But I know you'd only see me as a fan,
a hanger on without a clue
Still I know enough that you would never as much
make me an island in your world
I've gotta stop putting so much stock
in all of these pretty girls
I've gotta stop putting so much stock
in all of these pretty girls
