You say you like my red dress with my black stiletto shoes
You pull me in, kiss my neck, and move on according to you
A silent agreement to try and get me to forget her cheap perfume
Attached to you like toxic fumes I breathe in, killing me off
Oh, her hair is long, skirts are short, and I feel small, so insecure
Oh, you're not gonna fix this with compliments, so, no
Tell me I'm pretty, come on, baby, humor me
Think your hands on my waist will make me weep
Like kissing it better will make me forget her
So baby, tell me I'm pretty, oh-oh
The hallways of the house we built on candied compromise
Whisper her name, say she's to blame, they keep me hypnotized
I used to think she dragged you down and I could fix you up
Like a broken vase, all it'd take was glue and shutting up
But her hair is long, skirts are short, and I feel small, so insecure
Oh, you're not gonna fix this with compliments, so, no
Tell me I'm pretty, come on, baby, humor me
Think your hands on my waist will make me weep
Like kissing it better will make me forget her
So baby, tell me I'm pretty, oh-oh
Got your first date keep by your side
Got bandages to wrap 'round my pride
You say you like my colorful lies
A tourniquet in disguise
First date, keep by your side
Got bandages to wrap 'round my pride
You say you like my colorful lies
A tourniquet in disguise
Tell me I'm pretty, come on, baby, humor me
Think your hands on my waist will make me weep
Like kissing it better will make me forget her
So baby, tell me
Like kissing it better will make me forget her
So baby, tell me I'm pretty, oh-oh, ooh
