Pretty Girl Why

Pretty Girl Why

Stephen Stills

Like the ghost of someone near

She comes to haunt me in my sleep

Still I'm able to sincerely

Get her heart away from his

Pretty Girl why?

Pretty girl why not love me?

Pretty girl why?

Pretty girl why?

There she leaves me twice as lonely

As I was but yesterday

Keeping such a hold upon my thoughts

So near yet far away

Pretty Girl why?

Pretty girl why not love me?

Pretty girl why?

Pretty girl why?

The minstrel boy has gone to war

Now burdened with his father's sword

Still she doesn't see how she can give him

Piece of lips to hold

Pretty Girl why?

Pretty girl why not love me?

Pretty girl why?

Pretty girl why?
