"Pretty Girls Make Graves" is a song from The Smiths' 1984 critically acclaimed debut album titled "The Smiths". As the name implies is a song warning men to stay away from beautiful females since that can lead to disastrous consequences. In the song, Morrissey talks about a young man who is in a relationship with a very pretty girl and how this girl constantly keeps pressurizing him to engage in intercourse with her. The young man’s constant refusal to do what his girlfriend wants him to do makes her quickly dump him and go in for another man. Left thoroughly heartbroken and sad, the young man then vows never to trust womanhood again uttering the classic line “I lost my faith in womanhood”, which is one of the most famous lines from the song.
All in all, the song is advising men to be very careful when dealing with pretty girls since they can lead them to their early graves.
