      I remember "slow dragging" to this song at high school dances and home parties, and loved the song so much that I requested it every Saturday when they played oldies on the radio. Anyone remember Youngblood, 1st on Clark Atlanta radio station, then on FM 104.1?? Then Mike Jamison, a young guy, took over and infused the newer music with the oldies. At that point, my Saturday morning "blasts from the past" ended. Don't know what they are playing now from 8-12. Thanks TV commercial for my walk down memory lane. ❤😅

      I think music is more deep today. Not popular music obviously, but from 60'/70's rock onward, music had really meaningful metaphorical and poetic lyrics. Music prior just seemed a little more on the nose and meant to be taken at face value, but it was sweet.

    Prettier than all the world

    You're only one fellow's girl
    Oh, and I'm so proud (I'm so proud) I'm so proud of you
    I'm so proud of being loved by you
    [Bridge]
    And it would hurt, hurt to know
    If you ever were untrue
    [Verse 2]
    Sweeter than the taste of a cherry so sweet
    And I'm so proud girl (I'm so proud) I'm so proud of you
    Complements to you from all the people we meet
    Yes and I'm so proud now (I'm so proud)
    Believe me I love you too
    I'm so proud of being loved by you
    [Instrumental interlude]
    [Hook / Bridge]
    I'm so proud of being loved by you
    And it would hurt, hurt to know
    If you ever were untrue
    [Verse 2 abbreviated]
