Only Prettier

Miranda Lambert · Revolution [2009]

Well I've been saved by the grace of southern charm

I got a mouth like a sailor and yours is more like a hallmark card

If you wanna pick a fight well I'm gonna have to say good night

I don't have to be hateful, I can just say bless your heart



And even though I don't belong with your high life friends

Doesn't mean we don't get together and try to make amens

It's easier can you see lets agree to just disagree

We don't have to like each other but its sure fun to pretend



So lets shake hands and reach across those party lines

You got your friend just like I got mine

We might think a little differently

But we got a lot in common you will see

We're just like you, only prettier



Everybody says you gotta know your enemies

Even if they only weigh a hundred pounds and stand five foot three

If you just smile and behave you could always get your way

It's a universal plan that'll get you where you can in all societies



So lets shake hands and reach across those party lines

You got your friend just like I got mine

We might think a little differently

But we got a lot in common you will see

We're just like you, only prettier



[Break]



So lets shake hands and reach across those party lines

You got your friend just like I got mine

We might think a little differently

But we got a lot in common you will see

We're just like you, only prettier



Well I'll keep drinkin' and you'll keep gettin' skinnier

Hey I'm just like you only prettier
