Only Prettier Lyrics
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
And if you wanna pick a fight
Well I'm gonna have to say goodnight
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
It doesn't mean we don't get together and try to make amends
It's easier can't you see
Let's agree to just disagree
We don't have to like each other but it's sure fun to pretend
So let's shake hands and reach across those party lines
You've got your friends just like I've 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've gotta know your enemies
Even if they only weigh a hundred pounds and stand five foot three
If you just smile and behave you can always get your way
It's a universal plan that'll get you where you can in all societies
So let's shake hands and reach across those party lines
You've got your friends just like I've 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
Let's shake hands and reach across those party lines
You've got your friends just like I've 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
I'm just like you
Only prettier
I got a mouth like a sailor and yours is more like a Hallmark card
And if you wanna pick a fight
Well I'm gonna have to say goodnight
I don't have to be hateful, I can just say bless your heart
It doesn't mean we don't get together and try to make amends
It's easier can't you see
Let's agree to just disagree
We don't have to like each other but it's sure fun to pretend
You've got your friends just like I've 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
Even if they only weigh a hundred pounds and stand five foot three
If you just smile and behave you can always get your way
It's a universal plan that'll get you where you can in all societies
You've got your friends just like I've 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
You've got your friends just like I've 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
And you'll keep gettin' skinnier
I'm just like you
Only prettier

hahahaha, so true. I love this song, the whole album is pretty amazing. Her sound is great!
This song is amazing! It never fails to put me in a good mood hahah.
It means southern girls are just like you , and we can say what we like and can get awy with it if we say Bless your heart!
I LOVE this song!
to me it has two meanings- its about southern girls and how they're "prettier" but it has a deeper meaning as well- most southern people are republicans and the majority of democrats are not southern. She's singing about the two different parties "so lets shake hands and reach across those party lines" - its a great and cute way to disguise something so political. love her!
I really, really don't like country music, but i'm in LOVE with this song<3
It's about having to get along with someone that you absolutely hate and the whole time you two are talking to one another you are insulting one another but the insults are kind of hidden, or passive. http://www.theboot.com/2010/08/27/miranda-lambert-only-prettier-lyrics/
