You're Pretty Good Looking

Lyrics Information

oh yeah you're pretty good looking
for a girl
but your back is so broken
and this feeling's still gonna
linger on
until the year 2525 now
yeah you're pretty good looking
for a girl
your eyes are wide open
and your thoughts have been stolen
by the boys
who took you out and bought you everything you want now
yeah you're pretty good looking
oh yeah
you're pretty good looking
yes you're pretty good looking
oh yeah
for a girl
lots of people in this world
but I wanna be your boy
to me that thought is sounding so absurd
and I don't wanna be your toy
'cause you're pretty good looking
for a girl
my future's wide open
but this feeling's still gonna linger on
until I know everything I need to know now
yeah you're pretty good looking
oh yeah
you're pretty good looking
yes you're pretty good looking
oh yeah
for a girl

Quotes

Jack White:

    "I think the catchiest things of the stuff we've written, like [You're Pretty Good Looking] on our second album ... is just the most natural thing. I didn't sit down and figure it all out. I don't think it can be faked."
