Pretty woman, walkin' down the street
Pretty woman, the kind I'd like to meet
Pretty woman
I don't believe you
You're not the truth
No one can look as good as you
Mercy

Pretty woman, oh won't you pardon me
Pretty woman, I couldn't help but see
Pretty woman
You look lovely as can be
Are you lonely just like me

Pretty woman stop a while
Pretty woman talk a while
Pretty woman give your smile to me

Pretty woman, yeah yeah yeah
Pretty woman walk my way
Pretty woman say you'll stay, with me

'Cuz I need you, I'll treat you right
Come to me baby, be mine tonight

Pretty woman, don't walk on by
Pretty woman, don't make me cry
Pretty woman
Don't walk away hey, okay
If that's the way it must be okay

I guess I'll go on home it's late
Maybe tomorrow night but wait
What do I see

Is she walking back to me?
Yeah, she's walking back to me
Oh, pretty woman
