Oh, pretty woman

sure'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 her bone.

So you might as well

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,

whatcha gonna do?

You kept on foolin' around

till I got stuck on you.



So you can drop your mess

and come down off your throne,

stop using my poor heart

as just a stepping stone.



Pretty woman,

what's the matter with you?

Can't make you love me

no matter what I do.



Oh, pretty woman

that's all right for you.

Now you just go on doing

what you wanna do.



But someday when you think

that you've got it made,

you're gettin' 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.



Oh, pretty woman.

Oh, pretty woman.

Oh, pretty woman.

Oh, pretty woman.

Can't make you love me

no matter what I do. No!



Can't make you love me

no matter what I do. No!

Can't make you love me

no matter what I do.



Oh, pretty woman,

I just can't make you love me.

Oh, no.
