Lyrics

P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thing) (Michael Jackson)

“You know you, you make me feel so good inside...
I’ve always wanted a girl just like you.
Such a P.Y.T., pretty young thing...”

Where did you come from lady
And, ooh, won’t you take me there
Right away, won’t you, baby
Tenderoni you’ve got to be
Spark my nature
Sugar fly with me
Don’t you know now
Is the perfect time
We can make it right
Hit the city lights
Then tonight
Ease the lovin’ pain
Let me take you to the max

I want to love you
(P.Y.T.)
Pretty young thing
You need some lovin’
(T.L.C.)
Tender lovin’ care
And I’ll take you there, girl

I want to love you
(P.Y.T.)
Pretty young thing
You need some lovin’
(T.L.C.)
Tender lovin’ care
And I’ll take you there
(Anywhere you wanna go)
Yes, I will

Nothin’ can stop this burnin’
Desire to be with you
Gotta get to you, baby
Won’t you come it’s emergency
Cool my fire, yearnin’
Honey, come set me free
Don’t you know now
Is the perfect time ?
We can dim the lights
Just to make it right
In the night
Hit the lovin’ spot
I’ll give you all that I’ve got

I want to love you
(P.Y.T.)
Pretty young thing
You need some lovin’
(T.L.C.)
Tender lovin’ care
And I’ll take you there
Yes I will, yes I will

I want to love you
(P.Y.T.)
Pretty young thing
You need some lovin’
(T.L.C.)
Tender lovin’ care
And I’ll take you there
Yes, I will

Pretty young things
Repeat after me
Say na na na na
(Na na na na)
Na na na na
(Na na na na)
Say na na na na
(Na na na na)
Na na na na
(Na na na na)
Oh, take you there
Take you there

“You know, I think, you’re very, you’re very nice.
You and I could, you know, just, get together.
You’re such a P.Y.T., pretty young thing.
Oh, baby, oh darlin’, oh baby. You and me.
I just wanna love you, you know, it’s...
I’ll give you all that I got.”
