What I find funny is that when they picked this song for the movie Pretty in Pink - they had no idea what the true meaning of the lyrics were. That Caroline was extremely promiscuous - she would have sex with any man, hoping that one would fall in love with her - but they never do/did... And, "pretty in pink" does not mean she looked good in pink clothes - rather she looked good naked - in the 'pink'.

Lyrics for: Pretty In Pink

Caroline laughs and It's raing all day
She loves to be one of the girls
She lives in the place
In the side of our loves
Where nothing is Ever put straight
She turns herself round
And she smiles and she says'"This is it"
"That's the end of the joke"
And loses herself
In her dreaming and sleep
And her lovers walk
Through in their coats

Pretty in pink
Isn't she
Pretty in pink
Isn't she

All of her lovers
All talk of her notes
And the flowers
That they never sent
And wasn't she easy
And isn't she
Pretty in pink
The one who insists
He was first in the line
Is the last to remember her name
He's walking around
In this dress
That she wore
She is gone
but the joke's the same

Pretty in pink Isn't she
Pretty in pink Isn't she

Caroline talks to you
Softly sometimes
She says
"I love you and
"Too much"
She doesn't have anything
You want to steal
Well nothing you can touch
She waves
She buttons your shirt
The traffic
Is waiting outside
She hands you this coat
She gives you her clothes
These cars collide

Pretty in pink
Isn't she
Pretty in pink
Isn't she
