Lyrics

ALL THE PRETTY GIRLS 
 
They say all girls are bad news; 
They say every girl’s a curse. 
Oh, they’re quick to warn you, 
Those older women are worse. 
 
Yeah, those pretty girls are bad news; 
Every pretty girl’s a curse. 
The wiser men all warn you, 
“Those older women are worse!” 
 
They say back in the Garden, 
Eve started this conspiracy. 
They say, “Ladies, I beg your pardon, 
The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.” 
 
They say all girls are bad news; 
They say every girl’s a curse. 
Oh, they’re quick to warn you. 
Those older women are worse. 
 
Yeah, those pretty girls are bad news; 
Every pretty girl’s a curse. 
The wiser men all warn you, 
“Those older women are worse!” 
 
Remember those Sirens back on the beach, 
Those babes no man could resist? 
Had to keep Ulysses on a short leash – 
Keep him from a rocky romantic kiss. 
 
But I’m tellin’ you: 
 
Check under the hood, 
Check back in the trunk. 
You know it’s all good; 
God don’t make no junk. 
 
If I put all the pretty girls 
Off to one side of this world, 
The other side would be girl-free, 
Because they’re all pretty girls to me. 
 
They say all girls are bad news; 
They say every girl’s a curse. 
Oh, they’re quick to warn you, 
Those older women are worse. 
 
Yeah, those pretty girls are bad news; 
Every pretty girl’s a curse. 
The wiser men all warn you, 
“Those older women are worse!” 
 
Now we’ve got alimony, palimony, 
Sexual harassment suits. 
New millennium fantasies 
Selling their modern-day fruits. 
 
But I’m tellin’ you: 
 
Check under the hood, 
Check back in the trunk. 
You know it’s all good; 
God don’t make no junk. 
 
If I put all the pretty girls 
Off to one side of this world, 
The other side would be girl-free, 
Because they’re all pretty girls to me.
