Oh pretty woman she's the rising sun Says all your cheap paint and powder ain't gonna help you none 'Cause she's a pretty woman right down to the bone So you might as well still leave your skin alone Pretty woman What's the matter with you? Can't make you love me, no matter what I do Oh pretty woman what're you goin' to do You kept on foolin' around 'til I got stuck on you So you can drop your mess and come down off your throne Stop using my poor heart for just a stepping stone Pretty woman What's the matter with you? I can't make you love me, no matter what I do Oh pretty woman that's all right for you That you just go on doing what you wanna do But someday when you think that you've got it made You get in water deep enough so you can't wade Pretty woman What's the matter with you? Can't make you love me, no matter what I do
