Pretty Baby

Recommended Posts

Pretty baby, if you don’t like the way that I touch you
Then I won’t touch you no more, yeah
Pretty baby if you don’t like the way that I love you
Then throw my love on the floor

My mean daddy, my bad baby
Don’t you want me?
I don’t believe you when you say
You want to leave

Darling, honey, if you don’t think that you're gonna want me
Then, honey, let me know
Listen, honey, I don’t wanna keep thinking you love me
Just to find out you don’t

My mean daddy, my bad baby
Don’t you want me?
I don’t believe you when you say
You want to leave
Aren't you gonna miss me?
Honey, I’ll miss you
I just wanna kiss you, tonight

Pretty baby, if you don’t like the way that I hold you
Then, honey, let me go
Pretty baby, if you don’t like the way that I told you
Then, baby, tell me so

My mean daddy, my bad baby
Don’t you want me?
I don’t believe you when you say
You want to leave

Mmm, one of the best songs from Sirens.

Very relatable.

I wonder if this song was inspired by the movie Pretty Baby(1978)- where Brooke Sheilds plays a baby prostitute.

 

It wouldn't surprise me. That plot sounds up her alley and she once posted on Facebook about another Brooke Shields film, The Blue Lagoon:

Note her use of the phrase "golden gods" which she uses in "West Coast".

 

Also, this is the poster/DVD cover artwork for The Blue Lagoon:

Tropico much?

That's a bit unsettling

Did she save all of her old myspace posts and still uses them for inspiration or what.... :ohno:

 

She probably does that thing where she posts stuff that she likes and still likes the same things in the future  :P

¿Por qué?

Just a guess. Eclipse said there was a file of For K Part 2 labelled as Pretty Baby and whilst I don't think it's out of the question that she'd make 2 songs with the same title, we know this isn't confirmed to be called Pretty Baby and I think the 'Don't You Want Me' line stands out and is the theme of the whole song. I'll remain labelling it as Pretty Baby though  :toofunny:  Also I'm really mad that Italian kid that ended up spreading the Quiet Now and Young Like Me tracks (we all know it was @Bookbinder who leaked them) never come through with any information regarding them!

Except he didn't. An anonymous tumblr that was called quietnowfromtheend if I recall correctly leaked them first. @Bookbinder just re-uploaded them to his own tumblr and tried to steal credit for it.

 

:tea:

 

 

Edit: Wait, I remember what it was called. It was called quietnowfromtheendgame.

I think this is some of her best vocals from this era! I wonder if she thought about this song while writing For K Pt.2, kind of a stretch but it might have been in the back of her mind.
