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
