Fairytale, текст песни

Название песни: Fairytale.
Автор: Александр Рыбак, 2009 год.

Years ago, when I was younger,
I kinda liked a girl I knew.
She was mine and we were sweethearts;
That was then, but then it’s true.

I’m in love with a fairytale
Even though it hurts.
‘Cause I don’t care if I lose my mind
I’m already cursed.

Every day we started fighting,
Every night we fell in love.
No one else could make me sadder,
But no one else could lift me high above.

I don’t know what I was doing
When suddenly we fell apart.
Nowadays, I cannot find her,
But when I do we’ll get a brand new start.

I’m in love with a fairytale
Even though it hurts.
‘Cause I don’t care if I lose my mind
I’m already cursed.

She’s a fairytale, yeaaah!
Even though it hurts.
‘Cause I don’t care if I lose my mind
I’m already cursed.

Pretty Woman, песня

Название песни: Pretty Woman
Авторы: Roy Orbison и Bill Dees, 1964 год.

Pretty woman walkin' 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?

Ahhrrrr!

Pretty woman, stop awhile
Pretty woman, talk awhile
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 to 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, wow, pretty woman
