Pretty Little Thing

Lyrics

Keep your head on straight and stand up proud Don't hesitate to walk on clouds You can make it on this planet, you can make it anywhere So do all the things they say you should never dare Can you hit the mark and make a grown man cry With your poisoned dart and your eagle eye Did they break your spirit and tame your hunter's soul Did they get you addicted to lust and lies and gold Pretty little thing, won't you please come home?

I was only a kid myself when you came on the scene It was a miracle then but now it just seems like a dream Pretty little thing, won't you please come home? Give me a ring on the telephone You can call me baby with pretty please sugar on top Anything in the world you want you know you got Now you've got your man and you live in town He does the best he can but if he lets you down I'll light him on fire and shoot him like a dog at your feet He thinks I'm only jokin' but he stays on his side of the street You would do anything you would go anywhere To get away from the sting of the salty air You know back in Jersey they still talk about the things you did Well, you're a grown woman now But I still love you like when you was a kid Pretty little thing, won't you please come home? Give me a ring on the telephone You can call me your daddy with pretty please sugar on top Anything in the world you want you know you got
