Pretty Words Songtext
von Sweethearts of the Rodeo

(Don Schlitz - Vince Gill)

I′ve seen the way she cast her spell she's gonna hurt you I can tell
Just to prove that she can be your lover
She′s gonna turn on that charm tonight she'll wrap you in her arms
Tomorrow she will leave you for another.

Pretty is as pretty does that's how it is and always was
Pretty words are all she′s givin′ you
And when she whispers in the dark watch out she's gonna break your heart
Pretty words won′t make your dreams come true.

They're just pretty words.


In the morning you will find that you were just the next in line
There′s nothing I can do that's gonna stop you
Before you go just let me say I′d never treat your love that way
I'll be here long after she's forgot you.

Pretty is as pretty does that′s how it is and always was
Pretty words are all she′s givin' you
And when she whispers in the dark watch out she′s gonna break your heart
Pretty words won't make your dreams come true.

Pretty is as pretty does that′s how it is and always was
Pretty words are all she's givin′ you
And when she whispers in the dark watch out she's gonna break your heart
Pretty words won't make your dreams come true.

Just pretty words, just pretty words, just pretty words...
