Pretty charms, pretty little charms See how they sparkle in the sun Ding dong ding listen to them ring They seem to be telling everyone That you're my-y baby With a twist of your wrist it can be told You're my-y baby There it is, in fourteen ca-a-a-ra-a-at golden Pretty charms, pretty little charms Starting from the day we met The Sweet Sixteen, the moments in between That New Year's Eve we won't forget So if some guy should ask you If some night you're free Wave him away with a wave of your arms Do as I say, just blind 'em with your charms And show him you belong to me So if some guy should ask you If some night you're free Wave him away with a wave of your arms Do what I say, just blind 'em with your charms And show him you belong to me (Pretty charms, pretty little charms) (Pretty charms, pretty little charms) (Pretty charms, pretty little charms)
