Pretty Baby Lyrics
You light me up and then I fall for you.
You lay me down and then I call for you.
Stumbling on reasons that are far and few
I let it all come down and then sung for you.
Pretty baby, don't you leave me
I have been saving smiles for you.
Pretty baby, why can't you see?
You're the one that I belong to.
I'll be the embrace that keeps you warm
You're the sun that breaks the storm
I'll be all right and I'll sleep sound
As long as you keep coming 'round.
Oh pretty baby.
And I know things can't last forever
But there are lessons that you'll never learn.
Oh just the scent of you, it makes me hurt.
So havin' your love makes me better. Oh
Pretty baby, don't you leave me
I have been saving smiles for you.
Pretty baby, why can't you see?
You're the one that I belong to.
I'll be the embrace that keeps you warm
You're the sun that breaks the storm
I'll be all right and I'll sleep sound
As long as you keep coming
Can you hold me?
And never let go
When you touch me
And it's me that you own.
Pretty baby,
oh the place that you hold in my heart.
Would you break it apart? Again
Oh pretty baby
Pretty baby, don't you leave me
I have been saving smiles for you.
Pretty baby, why can't you see?
You're the one that I belong to.
I'll be the embrace that keeps you warm
You're the sun that breaks the storm
I'll be all right and I'll sleep sound
As long as you keep coming 'round.
Pretty baby, why can't you see?
Pretty baby, don't you leave me.
Pretty baby, why can't you see?
Pretty baby, don't you leave me.
Pretty baby. My pretty baby
My pretty baby, don't you leave me.
You lay me down and then I call for you.
Stumbling on reasons that are far and few
I let it all come down and then sung for you.
I have been saving smiles for you.
Pretty baby, why can't you see?
You're the one that I belong to.
I'll be the embrace that keeps you warm
You're the sun that breaks the storm
I'll be all right and I'll sleep sound
As long as you keep coming 'round.
Oh pretty baby.
But there are lessons that you'll never learn.
Oh just the scent of you, it makes me hurt.
So havin' your love makes me better. Oh
I have been saving smiles for you.
Pretty baby, why can't you see?
You're the one that I belong to.
I'll be the embrace that keeps you warm
You're the sun that breaks the storm
I'll be all right and I'll sleep sound
As long as you keep coming
And never let go
When you touch me
And it's me that you own.
Pretty baby,
oh the place that you hold in my heart.
Would you break it apart? Again
Oh pretty baby
I have been saving smiles for you.
Pretty baby, why can't you see?
You're the one that I belong to.
I'll be the embrace that keeps you warm
You're the sun that breaks the storm
I'll be all right and I'll sleep sound
As long as you keep coming 'round.
Pretty baby, don't you leave me.
Pretty baby, why can't you see?
Pretty baby, don't you leave me.
Pretty baby. My pretty baby
My pretty baby, don't you leave me.

Juvenile? Maybe. But what else is it? Beautiful. Of loving and wanting love. Everyone experiences this emotion and that is what I think keeps it from being "juvenile." It doesn't tailor itself to one specific age group. Lovely.
I think this song is about someone who is offering someone everything they have but the other person doesnt even seem to care or notice. I really love this song. I love the lyrics and as always her voice is so beautiful and enchanting. Although I do miss the piano.

I agree with lilpoet, I love this song. I love the whole CD. A true Vanessa fan wouldn't tag her a title of "Teeny-bobber" I think that this song is beautifully sung and has good music to back it up. There is nothing wrong with it. I believe that the only people that would find something wrong with this song is the ones that don't know how to like someone, or go as far as love. And I'm not talking about realitives. Yes, we are all able to love... but if we hide it and "cut it down" because it may be "immature" to speak it... than... I feel sorry for whoever falls in love with you.
this is a very pretty song. I liked it the first time I heard it.
this song is not juvenile.... its beautiful... u cant be juvenile to write lyrics and tap into feelings like those.
I think this song is about someone who is hopelessly in love with someone who doesn't give a damn. But the narrator doesn't see this! She seems to realize that he probably doesn't really love her later in the song. Maybe she's liked this person before, but it didn't work out (makes sense of the "would you break it apart, AGAIN"), but she still wants him. I dunno. I agree with this being one of her weaker songs, but its good in its own way (my favorite part is that interlude...her interludes are so cool).
What an incredibly lovely and heartfelt song.
I agree; this song alone could classify Vanessa as a (gasp!) teeny bopper. The lyrics are sweet, though. But dude, I miss the piano...
I disagree with you guys... this is 1 of the better songs in my opinion... the song to me is talking about loving someone but something keeps them from sharing the same feelings for you in return. Also, the song indicates a fear of being alone and a desire to love and be loved
