Pretty Girl

Late Friday night, we were down in midtown
Quarter to five, and it was time to head home
When a girl walks in
And my best friend grins
And he tells me he's got to get her on the dance floor
But he walks on up
And he chickens out
So I told him something
Yeah, I told him something

You may only meet your one just once
Don't leave your dream down in the dust
Get your courage up, my friend
Ask that pretty girl to dance
Don't spend your lifetime looking back
At all the chances that you had
Get your courage up, my friend
Ask that pretty girl to dance

Go ask that pretty girl
Ask that pretty girl to dance

I grabbed my keys and I start through the crowd
About to leave when the music settles down
But that girls walks by
And she cracks a smile
So I tell him I'm gonna get her on the dance floor
As I take her hand
And we start to dance
I realise something
Yeah, I realise something

You may only meet your one just once
Don't leave your dream down in the dust
Get your courage up, my friend
Ask that pretty girl to dance
Don't spend your lifetime looking back
At all the chances that you had
Get your courage up, my friend
Ask that pretty girl to dance

Go ask that pretty girl
Ask that pretty girl to dance
Go ask that pretty girl
Ask that pretty girl to dance

I know that there is a reason that she is probably not the one
I like to think that stupid love's for everyone
So, gentlemen, come on and give yourself a chance
Go ask that pretty girl to dance

You may only meet your one just once
Don't leave your dream down in the dust
Get your courage up, my friend
Ask that pretty girl to dance
Don't spend your lifetime looking back
At all the chances that you had
Get your courage up, my friend
Ask that pretty girl to dance

Go ask that pretty girl
Ask that pretty girl to dance
