lyrics

If you wanna be just friends,
you've gotta stop looking so dang hot
And if you wanna be platonic,
you've gotta quit flaunting the stuff that you got

Oh you can be so cruel
and not talk to me at school
Because you know that boys like me
are no match for your beauty

So don't be, don't be so pretty, pretty
Don't be, don't be so pretty

A man can only take so much
of your sweet smell and your tender touch
I think you know that it's unfair
with your rosy cheeks and the bows in your hair

Oh I can try to hide
but when I look in your eyes.
My will power melts away
and there are no words left to say

Don't be, don't be so pretty, pretty
Don't be, don't be so pretty, pretty

Don't be, don't be so cute
that it drives me insane
I'm racking my brain
on how to get you.
But it's been two weeks
since I've changed my sheets
I'm walking on feet
Oh what to do?

Oh I can try to hide
but then I look in your eyes.
My will power melts away
and there are no words left to say

But don't be, don't be so pretty, pretty
Don't be, don't be so pretty, pretty
Don't be, don't be so pretty
