Pretty woman, walking down the street
Pretty woman, the kind I like to meet
Pretty woman
I don't believe you, you're not the truth
No one could look as good as you
Mercy
Pretty woman, won't you pardon me?
Pretty woman, I couldn't help but see
Pretty woman
That you look lovely as can be
Are you lonely just like me?
Wow
Pretty woman, stop a while
Pretty woman, talk a while
Pretty woman, give your smile to me
Pretty woman, yeah, yeah, yeah
Pretty woman, look my way
Pretty woman, say you'll stay with me
'Cause I need you
I'll treat you right
Come with me, baby
Be mine tonight
Pretty woman, don't walk on by
Pretty woman, don't make me cry
Pretty woman, don't walk away, hey, okay
If that's the way it must be, okay
I guess I'll go on home, it's late
There'll be tomorrow night, but wait
What do I see?
Is she walking back to me?
Yeah, she's walking back to me
Oh, oh, pretty woman

I can remember one or two VH songs that were not so bad. Now, I am going to Youtube to listen to Love Comes Walking In, from the "Van Hagar" era. There are some really nice aspects to that song. A brilliant hook. |

| QueenLucia (Corner of the USA) | Posted: Oct 16, 2006 - 15:03 My father and I had no common ground on which to build a relationship and ignored each other for years. One day, we discovered that we both like Roy Orbison. From that one small bit of common interest, we've managed to form a relationship. It's a tentative one, and requires avoidance of topics like religion or politics, but it's still a relationship. Thanks, Roy, for helping to bring my family together. RIP--love you forever. |

8, mind you.  |
| aflanigan (Downstream) | Posted: Aug 04, 2006 - 09:52 To grasp his stature in the Rock & Roll/Pop music world, you only need to look at the faces joining him onstage in "Roy Orbison & Friends: A Black & White Night". |

Roy Obison wrote and performed "Oh, Pretty Woman." He will never have that problem. Orbison doesn't really have too many problems these days ... none in this world anyway. |

| dionysius (The People's Republic of Austin) | Posted: Jun 21, 2006 - 15:43 Boy, you walk away from the computer for 24 hours, and one of your uploads gets added and played! Huh. The most famous example of Roy's swagger as opposed to his lachrymose melodrama (which I still love, but the guy was a rockabilly rebel as well as a pop crooner!). His tiger growl is alone worth the price of admission. Rock and roll history. |
| steeler (Riding The Bus to Canton) | Posted: Jun 21, 2006 - 10:03 One of those songs that speaks to -- and from -- the heart of rock 'n' roll. Thanks, Roy. |
