Lyrics

I lie awake at night

See things in black and white

I’ve only got you inside my mind

You know you have made me blind

I lie awake and pray

That you will look my way

I have all this longing in my heart

I knew it right from the start

Oh my pretty pretty boy I love you

Like I never ever loved no one before you

Pretty pretty boy of mine

Just tell me you love me too

Oh my pretty pretty boy I need you

Oh my pretty pretty boy I do

Let me inside

Make me stay right beside you

I used to write your name

And put it in a frame

And sometime I think I hear you call

Right from my bedroom wall

You stay a little while

And touch me with your smile

And what can I say to make you mine

To reach out for you in time

Tell me you love me too

Oh pretty boy pretty boy pretty boy

Say you love me too

What It Means

Looked at closely, “Pretty Boy” is about the feeling captured in its very first words: “I lie awake at night”. The narrator keeps returning to the same images — “Oh my pretty pretty boy I do” — until the final line “Say you love me too” brings it home. It is honest without being heavy, and the repetition makes the meaning easy to follow even on the first listen.

Where It Works Best

• Relaxed evening and rainy-day playlists
• Study or focus sessions
• Driving, especially at night
• Any mood that calls for an easy, emotional listen

Summary

“Pretty Boy” is a well-crafted track that gets its strength from simplicity: a clear melody, a repeating hook, and lyrics that never overreach. It fits M2M’s style well and works in almost any playlist.
