Pretty became me before I knew you
Hoping looks can prove it all to be True
Having your attention
Commanding what made us Real
Pretty made me before I was an adult
Getting my way, no matter what I was taught
knowing that Daisy was right
being a pretty little fool
What else is there to do?
Pretty had me before it was easy
somewhere along the way
A man thought he was complex
complimenting my body
But honey, I don't take orders from a man
who doesn't notice who I am
Pretty, I know her
a simple thing to be
sincerely copacetic
I know the Power,
Pretty gives me
the Privilege
in your eyes
so don't tell me
I'm Pretty
I already know her.

'20/20'
"Do It Again" the track that would ultimately open the Beach Boys final album on Capitol Records which was released on February 10th 1969 had originally been released as a single in August of 1968. The track was the first of many post-Pet Sounds era throwbacks to the early Beach Boys sound which would become continually more cliched and eventually lead the Beach Boys to the level of self-parody they would eventually succumb to in the 1980s while their closest contemporaries The Beatles nearing the end of their run in 1969 would go on to be viewed as the most influential band of all time. However, the song itself is not bad on its surface, and it opens with a futuristic sounding (for 1969) drumbeat captured by then-Beach Boys engineer Stephen Desper using tape delays on the drums performed by Dennis Wilson and John Guerin. The song has been re-recorded numerous times over the years on various Beach Boys-related projects most notably the 2011 re-recording at Capitol studios featuring the five surviving Beach Boys at the time backed instrumentally by various members of both the Brian Wilson Band and Mike Loves touring "Beach Boys" to promote the then upcoming Beach Boys 50th Anniversary reunion tour in 2012. The hammering and power drill sound at the end of the song was an excerpt from a track called "Workshop" that was to be a part of the uncompleted "SMiLE" album.

Ooh yeah! I like this one a lot, Jazzy!! ❤️❤️
This is inspired! ✨❤️ my favourite likes are “honey, I don’t take orders from a man, who doesn’t know who I am” I’ve found when dating that a partner who just appreciates you when you feel beautiful, is one you should run away from. I loved this, beautiful words ☺️❤️
Excellent poem. Well written with a good amount of depth and meaning. I subscribed to you also!!!
