Pretty Girl Why Lyrics - Buffalo Springfield

Like the ghost of someone dear 

She comes to haunt me in my sleep 

Still I'm able to sincerely 

Get her heart away from his 

Pretty girl, why? 

Pretty girl, why not love me? 

Pretty girl, why? 

Pretty girl, why? 

There she leaves me twice as lonely 

As I was but yesterday 

Keeping such a hold upon my thoughts 

So near yet far away 

Pretty girl, why? 

Pretty girl, why not love me? 

Pretty girl, why? 

Pretty girl, why? 

The minstrel boy has gone to war now 

Burdened with his father's sword 

Still she doesn't see how she can 

Give him piece of lips to hold 

Pretty girl, why? 

Pretty girl, why not love me? 

Pretty girl, why? 

Pretty girl, why?
