Lyrics

Wants to dance and look pretty (update)

Doug Buche copyright 2025

Chorus:

She wants to dance and look pretty (dance and look pretty)

So the men from the city (men from the city), will look at her like the girl from 

Ipanema when she passes by.

First Verse:

She was too young (liked to dance and sing with her friends) to be a mother.

She was not ready ( liked pick flowers and run in the rain), to be some man’s wife.

But she wanted freedom  . . . to do things her way . . . to always have the final say..

She would not allow anyone else to be the star in her play.

Chorus:

She wants to dance and look pretty (dance and look pretty)

So the men from the city (men from the city), will look at her like the girl from 

Ipanema when she passes by.

Bridge:  She was a girl who wanted to be a woman, far too early in her life,

Now she’s a woman who would rather be the girl . . . no man’s wife.

2nd Verse:  

She had real beauty (long hair flowing over beautiful face) she had such pride.

Things she was wearing(were more important to her)  than the man at her side.

No one would control her, it was her way or the highway.  It did not matter how 

much she could gain if she would give up doing it her way.

Chorus:

She wants to dance and look pretty (dance and look pretty)

So the men from the city (men from the city), will look at her like the girl from 

Ipanema when she passes by.

But she’s a woman who would rather be the girl . . . no man’s wife.
