Pretty Little Thing
Chasing Rainbows with a Pretty Little Thing
Lyrics
Well I was walking down the street to a Kid Rock beat
Describing the atmosphere and setting the scene while walking to music.
The sun shining down smiling at me
Expressing a positive and sunny mood, feeling the warmth of the sun.
Wish I could bottle up the energy
Wishing to capture and preserve the positive energy of the moment.
Then she walked by I said hey butterfly
Noticing someone attractive passing by, using the metaphor "butterfly."
Let's walk on down to the merry go round
Suggesting a playful and carefree activity of going to a merry-go-round.
And she couldn't stop laughing when I started to sing
Describing the joy and laughter shared when singing together.
Hey you pretty little thing
Complimenting the person as a "pretty little thing."
Drop the other suckers and come with me
Inviting the person to join and leave other distractions behind.
And we could get away
Expressing a desire to escape together.
Find a little spot where we can play
Imagining finding a private place for intimacy and fun.
Baby I just want to give you everything
Expressing the desire to provide everything for the person.
Won't you stay awhile and listen to me sing
Requesting the person to stay and listen to a song.
You're a pretty pretty pretty pretty little thing
Reiterating the person's attractiveness with emphasis.
You're a pretty pretty pretty pretty little thing
-So we slide right up to the ice cream truck
Moving to another location, possibly continuing the adventure.
Put out a couple of crumpled up bucks
Buying treats and being generous, showing affection.
And I said give the other girl whatever she likes
-And I took her by the hand to a castle in the sand
Leading to an imaginative place made by kids, expressing shared dreams.
That some kids were making out of camp bell soup cans
-I said we're gonna live there some day
Aspiring to live together in a dreamlike place.
So what do you say
-Hey you pretty little thing
Repeating the invitation and expressing admiration for the person.
Drop the other suckers and come with me
-And we could get away
-Find a little spot where we can play
-Baby I just want to give you everything
-Won't you stay awhile and listen to me sing
-You're a pretty pretty pretty pretty little thing
-You're a pretty pretty pretty pretty little thing
-Excuse me little miss beauty queen
Complimenting the person's appearance and expressing a connection.
You look like the cover of a magazine
-You got something real special in those eyes
-Now so do I
-Now hold on let the truth be told
Revealing the search for something valuable and following one's heart.
I've been looking all day for a pot of gold
-If my heart leads I must follow
-It's not my fault you're standing underneath a rainbow
-Hey you pretty little thing
Repeating the invitation and emphasizing the person's beauty.
Drop the other suckers and come with me
-And we could get away
-Find a little spot where we can play
-Baby I just want to give you everything
-Won't you stay awhile and listen to me sing
-You're a pretty pretty pretty pretty little thing
-You're a pretty pretty pretty pretty little thing
