IN THE CITY BY HANSON

I see you walking out that door
and you know you can hide no more

If I asked you now I know you wouldn't give it up
If I asked you how you'd give that look to kill
Know it gives you a chill But Oh it gives me a thrill to say

Do you love, do you love me,
do you love me little pretty
Can you tell me, can you tell me
What's going on In The City

You stand there tryin to look so sweet
Every word you say is full of decit

If I asked you how you'd give that look to kill
Oh it gives you a chill But Oh it gives me a thrill to say

Do you love, do you love me
do you love me little pretty
Can you tell me, can you tell me
What's going on In The City?

I'm gonna ask you once again
You've got to tell me once again do you love me
I'm gonna ask you once again
You've got to tell me once again do you love me
I'm gonna ask you once again
You've got to tell me once again do you love me
Love me, love me, whoaaa

Do you love me, do you love me
Do you love me, little pretty
Can you tell me, can you tell me
What's going on In The City?

Do you love me, do you love me
Do you love me, little pretty
Can you tell me, can you tell me
What's going on In The City?

Do you love me, do you love me
Do you love me, little pretty
Can you tell me, can you tell me
What's going on In The City?

JUST A LITTLE GIRL BY AMY STUDT

Sometimes I feel you’re not listening
Sometimes I feel you don’t understand
But I think I’ve got the answer
Already know what you’re gonna say

‘Cause I’m just a little girl you see
But there’s a hell of a lot more to me
Don’t ever underestimate what I can do
Don’t ever tell me how I’m meant to be

You say I’m just a little girl, just a little girl
How can I compare? What do I know?
What have I got to share?
But there’s nothing in this world, nothing in this world
That could hold me down, can’t you hear me?
Don’t you understand
That I wanna be myself, wanna be the girl,
Wanna be the one that you can rely on
How I wish that you could see all there is of me
How I long to hear that you take me
For who I am

‘Cause I’m just a little girl you see
But there’s a hell of a lot more to me
Don’t ever underestimate what I can do
Don’t ever tell me how I’m meant to be

‘Cause I’m just a little girl you see
But there’s a hell of a lot more to me
Don’t ever underestimate what I can do
Don’t ever tell me how I’m meant to be

Sometimes I feel you’re not listening
Sometimes I feel you don’t understand

‘Cause I’m just a little girl you see
But there’s a hell of a lot more to me
Don’t ever underestimate what I can do
Don’t ever tell me how I’m meant to be

‘Cause I’m just a little girl you see
But there’s a hell of a lot more to me
Don’t ever underestimate what I can do
Don’t ever tell me how I’m meant to be

NOT A PRETTY GIRL BY ANI DIFRANCO

I am not a pretty girl
That is not what i do
I ain't no damsel in distress
And i don't need to be rescued
So put me down punk
Maybe you'd prefer a maiden fair
Isn't there a kitten stuck up a tree somewhere

I am not an angry girl
But it seems like i've got everyone fooled
Every time i say something they find hard to hear
They chalk it up to my anger
And never to their own fear
And imagine you're a girl
Just trying to finally come clean
Knowing full well they'd prefer you
Were dirty and smiling

And i am sorry
I am not a maiden fair
And i am not a kitten stuck up a tree somewhere

And generally my generation
Wouldn't be caught dead working for the man
And generally i agree with them
Trouble is you gotta have yourself an alternate plan
And i have earned my disillusionment
I have been working all of my life
And i am a patriot
I have been fighting the good fight
And what if there are no damsels in distress
What if i knew that and i called your bluff?
Don't you think every kitten figures out how to get down
Whether or not you ever show up

I am not a pretty girl
I don't want to be a pretty girl
No i want to be more than a pretty girl
PRETTY LITTLE GIRL IN RED BY AMBER TAMBLYN 
The green umbrella blended into her face.
She watched the pretty little girl in red dance circles in her eyes, like spider dust.
The golden whisper of her lips began to eat away the sand.
It was bright, as she cringed in pain.
She died later that afternoon.

POOR LITTLE PRETTY GIRL BY JOHN D. LOUDERMILK

Poor little pretty girl
Don't you wish your face was plain
Like the little Mary Jane next door
Who works from eight to five at a down-town store
And goes with a cute little guy on the second floor

Poor little pretty gril
You got to be back-stage at ten
All made up and in a jolly way
With clever little funny things to say
To entertain the customers who pay
It's a different world
Poor little pretty girl, wouldn't you say

Poor little pretty gril
Clothes you find you have to wear
Cause the neighborhood to stare and talk
And married men do watch you when you walk
Oh how loud and clear you hear their thoughts
It's a different old world
Being a pretty girl, wouldn't you say

And ev'rywhere you go you're recognized
By the make-up on your pretty lonely eyes
When you think you've met a nice guy
The first thing that the rascal does is try
And then you cry and then he says goodbye
It's a lonesome old world
Being a pretty girl, wouldn't you say

Hey little pretty gril
Hey little pretty gril

A PRETTY GIRL MILKING HER COW BY JUDY GARLAND
Twas on a bright morning in Summer
When I first heard his voice spakin' low
As he said to a colleen beside him
"Who's that pretty girl milking her cow?"

Och many times often ye met me
And told me that I should be
You darling, Acushla,
A Lana Mavourneen, Asuilish machree

Purty girl, purty girl,
With no on there to show her how
The purt, purt, purty girl is now
Milking her cow

I have not the manners or graces
Of the girls in the world where ye move
And I have not their beautiful faces
But oh, I've a heart that can love

And if it please ye, I'll dress me in satin
With jewels, jewels in me brow
But och, don't be after forgettin'
Your purty girl milking her cow

Purty girl, purty cow,
I'm sure this song would have never been wrote
If the pretty girl hadda been milking her goat
But the goat wasn't feeling well anyhow
So the pretty girl was milking her cow.

Her cow, her cow...
La, la, la, la, la, la...
La, la, la la, la, la, la La, la, la, la
A purty girl milking her cow!
PRETTY GIRL BY ALL
She's a pretty little girl
So she's never alone
You see her pretty walking by
And want her for your own
In every room she's in
Every eye's on her
Memorizing every line
Every move and every curve

Of all the pretty little girls
You know she is the queen
From all the pretty little pictures
In the pretty magazines
You tell her that you love her
But she won't know how you feel
She's as pretty as a picture
But only half as real

You gave so much
You had to know
It took so little
To hurt you so

She's learned that a pretty girl
Can smile and get her way
It so happens that it's certain
That it happens everyday
Anything she wants she can get so easily
And a pretty little girl is all she ever has to be

You gave so much
You had to know
It took so little
You hurt you so
But you can bet
That she shed some tears for you
But I bet you that they were
A pretty little precious few

Now your eyes are open
Can't you see just what she's done?
She's made of fool of many others
And you're just another one
From her pretty little head
To her pretty little toes
Pretty little on her mind
Precious little in her soul
