"Pretty Wings" lyrics - THE TEMPTATIONS

Time will bring the real end of our trial
One day they'll be no remnants
No trace, no residual feelings within ya
One day you won't remember me

Your face will be the reason I smile
But I will not see what I cannot have foreva
I'll always love ya, I hope you feel the same

Oh you played me dirty, your game was so bad
You toyed with my affliction
Had to fill out my prescription
Found the remedy, I had to set you free

Away from me
To see clearly the way that love can be
When you are not with me
I had to leave, I have to live
I had to lead, I had to live

[Hook:]
If I can't have you, let love set you free
To fly your prettywings around
Prettywings, your prettywings
Your prettywings around

I came wrong you were right
Transformed your love into light
Baby believe me I'm sorry I told you lies

I turned day into night
Sleep till I died a thousand times
I shoulda showed you
Better night better times better days
And I miss you more, and more

[Hook:]
If I can't have you, let love set you free
To fly your prettywings around
Prettywings, your prettywings your
Prettywings, your prettywings around
So prettywings, your prettywings around
Prettywings, your prettywings around
Say prettywings oh prettywings, yeah
Prettywings, your (oh oh) prettywings around

[Outro:]
(Ah, ah, yeah, ah/ Repeats throughout)
Prettywings your prettywings around
Yeah ay- ay - ay
Prettywings your prettywings around
Pretty pretty, pretty!
Someone better's gonna love you!
Prettywings your prettywings around
Someone! Someone's gonna love you, baby
Prettywings your prettywings around
Yeah oh ooh
Prettywings your prettywings around
Pretty, pretty, prett- tay- pretay- tay wings
Prettywings your prettywings around
Ah yeah pretty woah yeah ah
Prettywings your prettywings around
