Prompt was pretty.
Apologies I went down to a base level. :)
Pretty Damn Hot
I try not to give compliments
I try to play it cool
I try to hide behind my shades
When sitting by the pool
But you’re pretty
And when you flash those long legs
I see images of sex
I’m not really one to beg
But don’t lay your bets
Cause you’re pretty
Yeh you’re pretty damn hot
You know what you’ve got
When you’re pretty damn hot
Blows my mind more than pot
You take me there
You’re sexy and rare
You affect me
Cause you’re pretty
I try hard to hide sensations
I try to play it smart
I try to give the wildest smile
To say let’s make a start
As you’re pretty
And when you flash those long legs
I see images of sex
I’m not really one to beg
But don’t lay your bets
Cause you’re pretty
Yeh you’re pretty damn hot
You know what you’ve got
When you’re pretty damn hot
Blows my mind more than pot
You take me there
You’re sexy and rare
You affect me
Cause you’re pretty
Then I see you meet your date
And I know it’s too late
Cause he drives a fancy car
And he’s clearly got your heart
And he’s pretty
Still when you flash those long legs
I see images of sex
I’m not really one to beg
But don’t lay your bets
Cause you’re pretty
Yeh you’re pretty damn hot
You know what you’ve got
When you’re pretty damn hot
Blows my mind more than pot
You take me there
You’re sexy and rare
You affect me
Cause you’re pretty

Nothing like unrequited lust on a Sunday afternoon. You set it up really well. I liked how you you described the date, ending with "and he's pretty".
@keithcuts Feb 2022
the longing is apparent and carnal in your lyrics! an original for sure! nicely done
@devslev Feb 2022
Love the lyrics, imagining the song and melody!
@thedutchwidows Feb 2022
Straight to the point, with no messing! "Blows my mind more than pot" is a great line!
@apolez3 Feb 2022
I guess it always about the $? I went pretty literal as well.
@artie Feb 2022
Great lyrics! Love the story-telling structure. Very relatable too lol
@debs Feb 2022
I dig this a lot - it's a lot of fun and the lyrics really move. I definitely hear rock as well.
@odilongreen Feb 2022
I see you've written AC/DC's next big hit!
@tcelliott Feb 2022
They say men can be beasts and you've captured one aspect of that primal urge.
@hmstreetteam Feb 2022
Yeah, pretty intense contrast between the restraint of the verses and the bold declaration of the chorus. I can certainly relate to being caught between those two stances.
@zeekle1998 Feb 2022
Bringing things to the basic level. Really good imagery here, I sort of see the video for Stacey's Mum as a background to this... I agree, definitely a rock song.
@metalfoot Feb 2022
I'm hearing some sort of rock song to this one. Nice edge to the lyric.
@paulroe Feb 2022
This really needs to be put to music. The straightforward raw edge works well as a printed poem but might rise higher within a song. Cadence and repetition used to great effect. Cool
@coolparadiso Feb 2022
Oh nothing beats unrequited love! Good use of words to describe it! Nice skirmish
@corinnecurcio Feb 2022
Darn that pretty man! Sexy fun write
@kahlo2013 Feb 2022
I love the honest and direct lines that flow so well and convey desire so clearly!
@tunecat Feb 2022
A very slick read - it just flows snd I like that he’s pretty and we get lots of pretty’s in!
@writeandwrong Feb 2022
That chorus "blows my mind more than pot." LOL I heard music from beginning to end. Sincere, heartfelt, and playful. Fantastic job on the skirmish.
@whispermouse Feb 2022
This would be right at home in the catalog of any number of the hair bands I grew up listening to. Nice one!
@ajna1960 Feb 2022
Ha ha @ blows my mind more than pot !
Great story telling and very evocative too !
@mardeycranbleson Feb 2022
Like the chorus it is pretty catchy as even just words. You've painted a clear picture with this song!
@pearlmanhattan Feb 2022
Classic theme of boy sees girl, boy lusts over girl, boy watches girl drive away with boyfriend! Well written - I like the raw honesty in the lyrics - So relateable! Good Skirmish!
