Pretty Little Words Lyrics

Pretty little words from across the sea
pretty little words that you wrote to me
you said your love for me was a big devotion
you said your love was true clear across the ocean
oh yeah oh yeah pretty little words
yeah oh yeah oh strictly for the birds
I just got a letter from your buddy Joe
said you're going to wed her
girl in Tokyo
ohhh yeah yeah
I just got a letter from your buddy Joe
said you're going to wed her
girl in Tokyo
ohhh yeah
pretty little words from my soldier boy
every little word is to bring me joy
now I'm so afraid when a letter comes
when I open it will it say dear one
postman postman wait a minute please
take this letter back across the sea
I don't wanna open it, I don't wanna know
take this little letter back to Tokyo
whoah no
I don't wanna open it, I don't wanna know
take this little letter back to Tokyo
whoah no no no no no
please take this pretty little letter back across the sea

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
