You Don't Even Know (How Pretty You Are)

     
 

Some girls got the figure
But it don't add up
Some girls got the face
I don't pay much attention
If the truth be told
Pretty ain't in the figure
Pretty's down in your soul

And I mean you're pretty
Like a harvest moon
Like a little old puppy
Like a country tune
Like the Blue Plate Special
Like the cheque from home
Like the friend drop in
When you all alone

I'm gonna tell you
The truth of the matter
The nicest thing by far is
You don't even know
How pretty you are
Some girls got the money
Spend it all on show
They go along for the ride
But it ain't no go
They may be easy to look at
They may be easy to hold
That ain't what I call pretty, oh no
Pretty's down in your soul

And I mean you're pretty
Like a harvest moon
Like a little old puppy
Like a country tune yodel-ay-di
A Blue Plate Special
Like the cheque from home
Like a friend drop in
When you all alone

I'm gonna tell you
The truth of the matter
The nicest thing by far is
You don't even know
You don't even know
You don't even know
How pretty you are
Oh oh oh oh etc.
