Only Prettier
Miranda Lambert Lyrics

Well I've been saved by the grace of southern charm
My upbringing in the South has taught me to be kind and gracious, which has helped me in life.

I got a mouth like a sailor and yours is more like a Hallmark card
I tend to use more colorful language, while you have a more delicate way of speaking.

If you wanna pick a fight well I'm gonna have to say goodnight
I won't engage with you if you're trying to start an argument or fight.

I don't have to be hateful, I can just say bless your heart
I don't need to be mean or cruel towards you, I can simply offer a polite phrase to end the conversation.

And even though I don't belong with your high life friends
Even though we may not run in the same social circles or have the same level of wealth and status.

Doesn't mean we don't get together and try to make amends
That doesn't mean we can't find common ground and try to improve our relationship.

It's easier can't you see lets agree to just disagree
It's simpler and less stressful to accept that we have different opinions and not try to convince each other otherwise.

We don't have to like each other but its sure fun to pretend
We don't necessarily have to be close friends, but we can still enjoy each other's company and pretend to get along.

So lets shake hands and reach across those party lines
Let's make an effort to bridge the divide between us, despite our political differences.

You got your friends just like I got mine
We both have our own circle of friends that may not always see eye to eye.

We might think a little differently
Our perspectives or beliefs may vary slightly from each other's.

But we got a lot in common you will see
We also share many similarities or common interests that can bring us together.

We're just like you, only prettier
We're similar to you in many ways, but perhaps with a bit more sparkle or charm.

Everybody says you gotta know your enemies
It's often advised to understand and be aware of those who may oppose you or your beliefs.

Even if they only weigh a hundred pounds and stand five foot three
They may not physically seem like a threat, but opposing viewpoints can still be significant.

If you just smile and behave you could always get your way
If you act politely and respectfully, you may be able to sway others to your side more easily.

It's a universal plan that'll get you where you can in all societies
This approach can be effective in any situation or social setting.

Well I'll keep drinkin' and you'll keep gettin' skinnier
I'll continue to enjoy indulging in things like a good drink, while you may prioritize things like fitness and health.

Hey I'm just like you only prettier
Despite our differences, we share many similarities and qualities, but perhaps with an added touch of elegance or beauty on my end.

She says just like you only prettier
This phrase is repeated to emphasize the idea that we are more alike than different, despite any surface level discrepancies.
