Pretty woman, walking down the street Pretty woman, the kind I like to meet Pretty woman I don't believe you, you're not the truth No one could look as good as you Mercy Pretty woman, won't you pardon me? Pretty woman, I couldn't help but see Pretty woman Then you look lovely as can be Are you lonely just like me? Wow Pretty woman, stop a while Pretty woman, talk a while Pretty woman, gave your smile to me Pretty woman, yeah yeah yeah Pretty woman, look my way Pretty woman, say you'll stay with me 'Cause I need you, I'll treat you right Come with me baby, be mine tonight Pretty woman, don't walk on by Pretty woman, don't make me cry Pretty woman, don't walk away, hey, okay If that's the way it must be, okay I guess I'll go on home, it's late There'll be tomorrow night, but wait What do I see Is she walking back to me Yeah, she's walking back to me Oh, oh, pretty woman

    General Comment:Roy Orbison went out on tour with the Beatles
    in 1962 in England - when the tour started he was
    the headliner as the Beatles were just beginning
    their rise to fame - John Lennon had once said
    that he recalls Roy putting this tune together on
    the tour bus all the acts on tour were sharing -
    great song, great vocals

    General Comment:I believe Roy wrote this song while waiting for his wife as she was getting dressed to go out. Puts a different spin to it, don't it? Tres cool!
