Prettyman Lyrics by Prince

Rave Un2 the Joy Fantastic

1999

[Intro]
Don't hate me 'cause I'm beautiful
Hey now, what's up?
Ah, you know to come over here staring at a brother so hard
Say you what?

[Chorus]
If you want to be my baby
Got to tell me so
Overconfident lady
Better act like you know
If you want to be my baby
Come on, take my hand
Tell me that you wanna get with a prettyman

[Verse 1]
See me up here dancing, dancing on the floor
Got your little body doin' just a little more
The way I wear my knickers around this booty tight
Make a sister wanna call me up every night, hey

[Chorus]
If you want to be my baby
Got to tell me so
Overconfident lady
Better act like you know
If you want to be my baby
Come on, take my hand
Tell me that you wanna get with a prettyman

[Verse 2]
Everywhere I go, people stop and stare
They just wanna see me swing this pretty hair
If there ever comes a time, it just won't grow
I'll do it like my brother and buy some mo', hey

[Chorus]
If you want to be my baby
Got to tell me so
Overconfident lady
Better act like you know
If you want to be my baby
Come on, take my hand
Tell me that you wanna get with a prettyman

[Interlude]
If you wanna be my baby
Ew!
Prettyman
Prettyman

[Verse 4]
In the early morning
When I'm feeling nice (Prettyman)
I walk by the mirror
And kiss it twice (Prettyman)
When it comes to perfume
It's on the shelf, I get it down
If ain't nobody around
I, I, I smell myself
Hey
Now
Prettyman
Do you
(Prettyman)
I ain't you
See out
Pretty man
Come on band, break down
(Prettyman)
I don't care about money
I buy gold by the once
Y2K, not today
I write a check and the bank bounce
Superball used to be my nickname
If you ask about love
No money back guarantee when I'm above
Prettyman

[Chorus]
If you want to be my baby
Got to tell me so
Overconfident lady
Better act like you know
If you want to be my baby
Come on, take my hand
Tell me that you want to get with the pretty man

[Outro]
Maceo, brother, can you blow
Pretty
(Prettyman)
From Harlem, off to Tokyo
Wait, stop, go
(Prettyman)
Maceo can you
Maceo can you blow
Hey!
Prettyman (Prettyman)
Oh yeah
Can't scream now
(Prettyman)
Can't scream now
(Prettyman)
Hey
Hello
Who is it?
(Prettyman)
Yes, this is the prettyman
(Prettyman)
Pretty
