A Pretty Girl Is Like A Melody - Artie Shaw

I am not a pretty girl That is not what I do I ain't no damsel in distress And I don't need to be rescued So put me down, punk Wouldn't you prefer a maiden fair? Isn't there a kitten stuck up a tree somewhere? I am not an angry girl But it seems like I've got everyone fooled Every time I say something they find hard to hear They chalk it up to my anger And never to their own fear Imagine you're a girl Just trying to finally come clean Knowing full well they'd prefer you were dirty And smiling And I am sorry But I am not a maiden fair And I am not a kitten stuck up a tree somewhere And generally, my generation Wouldn't be caught dead working for the man And generally I agree with them Trouble is you gotta have youself An alternate plan And I have earned my disillusionment I have been working all of my life And I am a patriot I have been fighting the good fight And what if there are no damsels in distress What if I knew that and I called your bluff? Don't you think every kitten figures out how to get down, Whether or not you ever show up? I am not a pretty girl I don't really want to be a pretty girl No, I want to be more than a pretty girl.

It felt like a Wednesday when we had our first date I remember that place, I kind of sense some fate (oh yeah) Stars drawn around scars, yellow beam to my heart (uh-huh) Don't tell anyone (shh), don't Seasons start to change, I've been daydreaming for days Yeah, you got me in a loop, send me pictures of the moon So the ball's in your court, if I'm something you adore And you wanna see me more, I'd be ok with that Would a boy like you like a girl like me? It doesn't matter if we don't know where this leads Would a boy like you like a girl like me? Like a girl like me, like a girl like me Mm, mm Mm, ah It's the end of the day, and you're getting all confusing On a parachute, I'm cruising, if you still stay you're losing Say what you gotta say, what I wanna hear you say Don't let it get too late, come soothe on my soul as Seasons start to change, I've been daydreaming for days Yeah, you got me in a loop, send me pictures of the moon So the ball's in your court, if I'm something you adore Do you wanna see me more? Well, send me flowers Would a boy like you like a girl like me? It doesn't matter if we don't know where this leads Would a boy like you like a girl like me? Like a girl like me, like a girl like me Mm, mm Mm, ah Mm, mm Mm, ah Would a boy like you like a boy like me? Would a girl like you like a girl like me? Could someone like you like someone like me? Would a boy like you like a girl like me? Would a boy like you like a boy like me? Would a girl like you like a girl like me? Could someone like you like someone like me? Would a boy like you like a girl like me? Would a boy like you like a girl like me? It doesn't matter if we don't know where this leads Would a boy like you like a girl like me? Like a girl like me, like a girl like me Mm, mm Mm, ah
