Young and Pretty

ABOUT THE SONG 
I cowrote this song with NYC based producer, Marc Ciprut in 2004, when I was 20 years old. I worked with him on a few demos, and he presented me the music to this one. It had no lyrics, so I took it home with me, and upon reflecting on a relationship of mine that had just ended, I came up with this song. The song is about a man who leaves a woman for a girl much younger, which is pretty funny that I considered myself a woman, at the tender age of 20 years old. The song still brings back so many memories for me, some good, some bad, but regardless of the connotation, it was all a learning experience.

​Verse 1
We were so perfect
Going on two long happy years
But then she came along, oh
I thought we were stronger than this
I thought we were happy

Chorus:
Say you’ll stay
Why’s this have to end this way
I know she’s young and pretty
But will she write you any love songs?
Whoa
​
Verse 2
You said she’s your soulmate,
It’s only been two weeks
Do you say the same things to her
That you said to me , whoa
I thought you were different

Chorus
Say you’ll stay
Why’s this have to end this way
I know she’s young and pretty
But will she write you any love songs?

Bridge
You don’t know
How far I would go
To get you back in my arms
How’d I know
That once you mentioned her name
Things wouldn’t be the same anymore
Whoa

Chorus
Say you’ll stay
Why’s this have to end this way
I know she’s young and pretty
But will she…
Say you’ll stay
Why’s this have to end this way
I know she’s young and pretty
But will she write you any love songs?
