Pretty Baby - Sister Sledge

Yes you fooled around and you fell in love

Honey I tell you so Yes you fooled around and you fell in love

(* repeat)

Boy you came along

And you took my heart

Gave it quite a start

You had a love, fit like a glove

Yes, it was the perfect love

Don’t get me wrong

But I’ve heard that song

I’ve seen that dance

And I know romance

All this to say it’s a new day

I’ve spoken to the owl

The jig is up

(* repeat 2 times)

Now there you go You found a toy that brings you joy

The love I feel — it still remains

But you’re not the same

I see the change

You’ve been acting strange

I feel the pain

I can’t stand the strain

What can I do

I still love you

Wanting you, needing you

Holding you, loving you

(* repeat 4 times)

I’M A GOOD GIRL EASY STREET PRETTY BABY

(*) Oh what is this feeling I feel

I don’t like it — no Honey I don’t know what’s come over me I mustn’t lose control

You see I’m a good girl

Oh what is this feeling I feel

I don’t like it — no Honey I don’t know what’s come over me I mustn’t lose control of my senses

Even when I don’t want to baby

I can’t stop the feelin'

It just seems to happen

And even when I don’t need to baby

I can’t help myself

You always seem to win

(* repeat)

Even when I first met you boy

I knew it’d be good but never like this

And even when you’re so bad

I can’t hurt you no 'cause

I just hurt myself

(* repeat 2 times ad lib)

(*) Easy Street

The sidewalk’s cleaner

Easy Street

The grass is greener

Easy Street, Easy Street

I’ve spent some time on lonely street

Right 'crosstown that’s where I used to be When I fell by the wayside you see

I got wrapped up in me

And moved to only street

I was searching high and low

Looking for a place to go

I caught the bus of opportunity

Hopped into the front seat

And I got off on

(* repeat 2 times)

Poundin' down the meanest streets

And my stomach’s wonderin'

Where am I gonna get my next meal

Been handed quite a deal

My cycle’s incomplete

I had corns on my feet

From the hours I walked the beat

I’d like to drop it from my memory

I found a way in me to wake the dead end

(* repeat 5 times and fade)

(*) Pretty Baby grew into a lady

The people don’t know what your mama know

They don’t

Pretty Baby

In the light of the dawn

A pretty babe was born

Her mother she had sworn to take good care of her

Every night mom would pray

Her life would not be torn

Her clothes would not be worn

Until they dropped off of her

My child, you dear, don’t have no fear

I’ll shed the tears, keep your head clear

My Pretty Baby

(* repeat)

Little girl I want you to attend the finest schools

And never be a fool

I’ve got experience

Learn all that you can

You’ll find that in the end

You’ll learn how to depend on yourself

It makes me glad you have the things I didn’t have

Never be sad, my Pretty Baby

(* repeat)

The people don’t know what your mama know

They don’t

Pretty Baby grew into a lady

They don’t
