I noticed how you smiled just now surprised at having seen
How I ate up your flattery then licked the platy clean
I've been so starved for pretty words however insincere
Till as for me flattery will get you everywhere

So brag me up and make me smile and I'll do things your way
Say pretty words to me and I'll do anything you say
Don't worry if they're true or not, the truth is I don't care
And as for me flattery will get you everywhere

Another love said hurtin' words until our love was gone
He'd always get the shoe to fit and I'll have to put it on
Say words unkind and soon my mind will close from ear to ear
And as for me flattery will get you everywhere

So brag me up and make me smile and I'll do things your way
Say pretty words to me and I'll do anything you say
Don't worry if they're true or not, the truth is I don't care
And as for me flattery will get you everywhere
As for me flattery will get you everywhere
