Ladies look for that somebody special who will treat you right. Never stop believing for the best. This is how this song makes me think. Eric Benet is a Super Star.
this is a beautiful song,you live and you learn, sometimes you wait a long time to be with a man,and you think he is the one, and turns out you just needed to learn and grow a little bit more
@Chrisfathead - No doubt, I think this song could've been done for the realization that he didn't treat Halle as a "Pretty Baby" like he should've. This R&B song is from 2005, the year he and she divorced, so I think he's giving women advice on how to look at themselves as more than a sexual object, and to have more love an self esteem for themselves. I'm sure he dealt with quite a few women who lacked self esteem an self love, during his many conquest behind Halle's back, nice 2K's R&B song...
I relate so well to this song b/c I don't know what love looks like. Every man I've encountered has looked at me as an object...everytime. I don't know why.
Listen to the words of this song. A lot of women and I can admit I was like this a few years ago. Why I don't know I was dealing with things deep within. Don't just lay down with any man because all men is not worth to have the most precious thing wait to give that to a man that truly loves you. I'm now in a loving relationship and just had my first child. True love is out there it's best to wait until GOD put that person in your life instead of searching.
@RosefromPittsburgh That's wonderful and I'm happy for you. I'm still trying to keep the faith. I have tried to do it my way and it was just a mess with the guys I have dated. Now I am waiting for God to put the right person into my life. If God says it and send him then it has to be right. Bless you and your family.
when i stumbled across this song, the first thing i said was FINALLY!!!.....THANK YOU SO MUCH BIGBANKX!!!! ......1 person does not have a pretty baby lol
IS IT A #FEMALE SONG WIT THE SAME MELODY ARE SOMETHING LIKE THAT. it seem like i hard a female version of this before this came out IF U KNOW #HELP ME PLEASE
@ kimv020887: Umm, it's one thing not to like Justin Bieber, but dude deserves his success. He's the real deal: plays trumpet, drums, guitar and piano, as well as singing. Disagree, but don't disrespect. God Bless All Y'all!!
I could listen to this over and over again...What ever happened to music like this? It's hard to listen to the radio now days. Thank goodness for IPod and cd's lol...Thanks for the upload and the relaxation hun..
@angiegar33 well fags like Bieber, etc. CONTROLLED the radio and deprived us of REAL MUSIC. And angiegar33, AVOID today's music. Go to YouTube and search for real music, angiegar33. REPLY BACK.
I just love all of Mr. Benet's mujsic...so classic and sultry...edgy, yet tasteful...in one one Yummy....to those who think he will never be satisfied with another since he and Halle didn't make it...outer beauty fades...noone really knows but those 2 individuals what happened and why.
@MOM7769 He is extremely talented as a vocalist and and songwriter, E.B. put out alot of top notch material that fits whatever mood you're in.........sadly brother benet was judged & found guilty by a fical music industry & millions of people who thought he done Halle wrong. His image was tarnished because of it, like you said nobody knows the truth accept those two, whatever happens in ones personal life is their business.
GREAT ARTIST AND GREAT VIDEO!!! BIG KUDOS!! good looking black women on your video!! I wont lie hes a good artist... just Id never date him cause if he aint satisfied w/ halle berry no chick could EVER satisfy him LOL;P
I never even heard this song until this year 2010. I thought it was ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL. Just imagine my surprise when I found out this song was not at all released in 2010 [or 2009, for that matter], but in stead it was released on March 14, 2006 which was four and a half years ago!! Where da hell was I at that I missed this cut for 4 1/2 years?? A crime I tell you. Nonetheless I am making up for it now. I listen to it everyday and I favorited the song. A winner right here!!
@japrphilly never a problem. Just wanted to ensure that you were informed. Oh and his latest single release "Sometomes I Cry" is up here on YouTube. Like I said, it was released on August 2, 2010 [this year].
@japrphilly he did. This song "Pretty Baby" was from the album "Hurricane" which was released on June 21, 2005. Since then Eric Benet has released [not one, but] two more albums. His album titled "Love & Life" was released on September 9, 2008 and contained the hit "Chocolate Legs". His latest album titled "Lost In Time" is due to be released on November 30, 2010 and it features his hit single "Sometimes I Cry" which was released on August 2, 2010. So he has come out with new music.
@Rie70 I was actually just as surprised as anyone else was. To think that I firmly believed that this was in his album that was released this year in 2010 named "Lost In Time". I mean, you couldn't TELL me any different. Then come to find out that this song was released in 2005 in his album named "Hurricane". WOW, I was floored. This song definitely should have been promoted more. Eric Benet needs ME on his public relations team. I bet this would have been even hotter than it was
@Logic1914 I totally agree. That album right after his break up bar none was his best work. I still listen to it even now. My favorites are Hurricane, Making Love, The Last Time and of course Pretty Baby. I love his work but that album was a turning point in his career. I felt his pain and his new found direction.
@Rie70 I'mma need you to school me. You said that the album right after his break up was bar none his best work. Who did he break up with? Are you referring to his divorce from Halle Berry in 2005 [the same year that "Hurricane" was released]? Now this song has become one of my favorites. But then again so are some of his cuts from his earlier Albums. Two in particular are "Let's Stay Together" as well as "Spiritual Thing" which are both in his first album named "True To Myself"
@Rie70 I'm actually watching it as I type this back to you. It s just not moving me in the way that some of his other songs have moved me. Hell, it's not moving me in the way that THIS song [Pretty Baby] is moving me. Can't help that. Sorry.
Love this smooth Eric B gem, reminds me of a Pretty Baby, deceived by what ungrateful eyes seen, but now her open heart gave it a brand new start... discovered her lite, n that's where u found me....ooooh ooh..pretty baby ;)
@cam77793 It seems that by this humble expression alone you are well on your way to becoming wiser, we all indeed get older, however we all do not necessarily become wiser in the process.......Keep advancing young brother. Strength and Honor!
I love your video. When he sings"your gonna miss your chance for happiness,tenderness,don't miss your opportunity,show a little self esteem;" makes me tear up every time. You wish every little girl with low self esteem could hear this before she makes needless mistakes that she won't be able to take back.
i soooo love this song mmm
