They said: Darling
Would you meet me
At midnight?
There's bar down
There in Brooklyn
That I know
Like a calling
They pulled me
To the traintracks
Or d'you wanna spend
The evening on your own?
Through the window
I could see them
At the counter
Empty chest, now
That my heart sinks
To my boots
But it's been walked on either way
Now I'm here, so I should stay
Had Italian at a table for two
They were so pretty, pretty, pretty
Pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty
So pretty that night
And I was pretty, pretty, pretty
Pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty
Pretty much alright
But not quite
Now we're out here
In their sublet apartment
I feel lucky just to
Lay here with you
But I don't think
I'm demanding way too much when
I say that I would wish
My head would be here too
They were so pretty, pretty pretty
Pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty
So pretty that night
And I was pretty, pretty pretty
Pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty
Pretty much alright
But not quite
And then they played me
Their favorite song
And I actually thought
I might be moving on
But I'm not strong enough tonight
They were so pretty, pretty pretty
Pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty
So pretty that night
And I was pretty, pretty pretty
Pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty
Pretty much alright
But not quite
