Pretty Girl Why Lyrics

Artist: Buffalo Springfield
Album: Last Time Around

Pretty Girl Why
Stephen Stills

Like the ghost of someone near
She comes to haunt me in my sleep
Still I'm able to sincerely
Get her heart away from his

Pretty Girl why?
Pretty girl why not love me?
Pretty girl why?
Pretty girl why?

There she leaves me twice as lonely
As I was but yesterday
Keeping such a hold upon my thoughts
So near yet far away

Pretty Girl why?
Pretty girl why not love me?
Pretty girl why?
Pretty girl why?

The minstrel boy has gone to war
Now burdened with his father's sword
Still she doesn't see how she can give him
Piece of lips to hold

Pretty Girl why?
Pretty girl why not love me?
Pretty girl why?
Pretty girl why?

Lots of errors!
Lines 3 and 4 should be:
Sill unable to sincerely
Give her heart away for keeps

The last line of the last stanza is doubtful, also:
"Piece of lips to hold"
I hear "Peace amidst the hoard" but I'm not 100% certain that's right.
