Vanessa Lee Carlton (born August 16, 1980 in Milford, Pennsylvania) is an American pop and rock singer, songwriter and pianist best known for the hit song "A Thousand Miles", a single from her platinum-selling debut album Be Not Nobody (2002).

Pretty Baby Lyrics

Vanessa Carlton

You light me up and then I fall for you
You lay me down and then I call for you
Stumbling on reasons that are far and few
Id let it all come down and then some for you
Pretty baby dont you leave me
I have been saving smiles for you
Pretty baby why cant you see
Youre the one that I belong to
Ill be the embrace that keeps you warm
For youre the sun that breaks the storm
Ill be alright and Ill sleep sound
As long as you keep comin around, oh pretty baby
And I know things cant last forever
But there are lessons that youll never learn
Oh just the scent of you it makes me hurt
So hows it you that makes me better
::chorus::
Why cant you hold me and never let go
When you touch me it is me that you own
Pretty baby oh the place that you hold in my heart
Would you break it apart again... oh pretty baby
::chorus::
