Oh, pretty woman, sure's the rising sun
Says all your cheap paint and powder ain't gonna help you none
'Cause she's a pretty woman right down to her bone
So you might as well leave your skin alone

Pretty woman
What's the matter with you?
Can't make you love me
No matter what I do

Oh, pretty woman, what's you gonna do?
You kept on fooling around 'til I got stuck on you
So you can drop your mess and come down off your throne
Stop using my poor heart as just a stepping stone

Pretty woman
What's the matter with you?
Can't make you love me
No matter what I do

Oh, pretty woman, that's all right for you
Now you just go on doing what you wanna do
But someday when you think that you've got it made
You're getting water deep enough, so you can't wade

Pretty woman
What's the matter with you?
Can't make you love me
No matter what I do

Oh, pretty woman
Oh, pretty woman
Oh, pretty woman
Oh, pretty woman
Can't make you love me
No matter what I do, no

Can't make you love me
No matter what I do, no
Can't make you love me
No matter what I do

Oh, pretty woman
I just can't make you love me
Oh, no
