You Look So Pretty

'You Look So Pretty' was written by Larry Hill in 1976 and recorded two years later.

The original audio recording can be heard in the video at the bottom of this page.

The updated version of the song was created in January 2025, as was the video. Cherry Poppet sings.

"Crowded out in a smoke-filled room,
Party tape playing out of tune,
Drinking just compounds the gloom,
Sometimes I feel my age.

But just when you're feeling most aggrieved,
Lady Luck may grant reprieve,
Oh, the tangled web she weaves,
Funny how things can change.

You look so pretty!
You look so pretty!

You look so pretty standing there,
With your big, blue eyes and golden hair,
And still you seem so unaware,
Of the hold you have over me.

There's just something in your eyes,
A subtle touch of paradise,
And, oh, you got me hypnotised,
Oh, so, completely.

You look so pretty.
You look so pretty.
You look so pretty.
You look so pretty.

You think I'm crazy, well, okay,
Every mad dog has his day,
There may be some better way
But we just don't have the time.

'Cause I've been waiting all my life,
For this moment to arrive.
Now this may sound a touch contrived
But it's the first thing comes to mind.

You look so pretty.
You look so pretty.
You look so pretty standing there,
With your big, blue eyes and golden hair,
And still you seem so unaware,
Of the hold you have over me.

There's just something in your eyes,
A subtle touch of paradise,
And, oh, you got me hypnotised,
Oh, so, completely.

You look so pretty.
You look so pretty.
You look so pretty.
You look so pretty.

You look so pretty.
You look so pretty.
You look so pretty.
You look so pretty.

I was a little girl lost in the madding crowd.
A lonely rider on a merry go round.
But I came through spirit unbowed
And I never did compromise.

There's always space for a happy landing,
Happiness not just vain pretending.
If you have faith in the perfect ending
Your dreams can materialise.

You look so pretty!
You look so pretty!
You look so pretty standing there,
With your big, blue eyes and golden hair,
And still you seem so unaware,
Of the hold you have over me.

There's just something in your eyes,
A subtle touch of paradise,
And, oh, you got me hypnotised,
Oh, so, completely."

The song was written in 1976 and recorded in 1978.
