All The Pretty Girls Lyrics

All the pretty girls like Samuel
Oh, he really doesn't share
Although it's more than he can handle
Life is anything but fair, life is anything but fair

Oh oh, oh oh ooh
Oh oh, oh oh
Just as soon as they turn older
He'll come and sweep them off their feet
It's only making me feel smaller
All the hidden love beneath

So won't you lay me, won't you lay me down
Won't you lay me, won't you lay me down
Won't you lay me, won't you lay me down
You lay me, won't you lay me down

All alone, alone again
No one lends a helping hand
I have waited, I have waited
Takes it's toll, my foolish pride
How long before I see the light
I have waited, I have waited
For you to lay me down

Sail on by, sail on by for now
They play naked in the water
You know it's hard, heaven knows I've tried
But it just keeps getting harder

So won't you lay me, won't you lay me down
Won't you lay me, won't you lay me down
Won't you lay me, won't you lay me down
Won't you lay me, won't you lay

Oh, won't you lay me, oh won't you lay me down
Won't you lay me, oh won't you lay me down
Oh, won't you lay me, won't you lay me down
Won't you lay me down

Oh, I'll wait, I'll wait, I'll wait, I'll wait for you
Yeah, I'll wait, I'll wait, I'll wait, I'll wait for you
Oh, I'll wait, I'll wait, I'll wait, I'll wait for you
Oh, I'll wait, I'll wait, I'll wait, I'll wait for you

For you to lay me, won't you let me down

What is the Meaning of All The Pretty Girls?

This piece offers a poignant exploration of unrequited love and longing. The singer portrays himself as an observer, watching as 'Samuel' effortlessly attracts all the pretty girls, causing feelings of insignificance and envy within him. Samuel's popularity emphasizes the singer's loneliness and lack of companionship. The repeated plea "won't you lay me down" signifies a yearning for emotional intimacy and acceptance, which remains unfulfilled throughout the song. Further, the concept of waiting symbolizes hope for reciprocation or change in his circumstances. Ultimately, this song provides an introspective look at human emotions when faced with unattainable desires, leaving listeners with a sense of shared melancholy and empathy for the singer's plight.
