Only Prettier
Miranda Lambert · Revolution [2009]
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
