"Pretty Mouth and Green My Eyes" is a short story written by J. D. Salinger for The New Yorker, collected in his Nine Stories. It details a phone conversation between two lawyers, in which one is distracted from his own romantic evening to hear about his friend's irksome wife.

The line "rose my color is and white, pretty mouth and green my eyes" was quoted by acclaimed indie rock and lo-fi artist P.J. Harvey in her song "Angelene" from the album Is This Desire?
