Lyrics

Translation
Bilingual
I once loved a man who was all lips and hands
Cracked lips and hands, calloused hands
I still feel his touch against my skin
Past loves linger like phantom limbs
I cut straight to the heart, I don't believe
The pretty little things that you say
I've heard a lot of little pretty things
Don't buy me flowers, it pains me to watch
Pretty little things wilt away
Pretty little things wilt away, ah-ooh
Pretty little things wilt away
There are lessons in life no one should have to learn
But trust is now something I make people earn
So I'm not inclined to just give it away
To a pair of blue eyes with some nice things to say
I cut straight to the heart, I don't believe
The pretty little things that you say
I've heard a lot of little pretty things
Don't buy me flowers, it pains me to watch
Pretty little things wilt away
Pretty little things wilt away, ah-ooh
Pretty little things wilt away
I know a trick to make a man's colors show
If he sees something he wants, tell him no
Maybe you're right, and maybe I have been used up
By another man's hungry hands
And maybe you're right, and maybe I have been ruined
By another man after him
But maybe I'm the one who's right
Maybe you will prove why
Women like me never fall for pretty little things
I cut straight to the heart, I don't believe
The pretty little things that you say
I've heard a lot of little pretty things
Don't buy me flowers, it pains me to watch
Pretty little things wilt away
Pretty little things wilt away, ah-ooh
Pretty little things wilt away, ah-ooh
Pretty little things wilt away, ah-ooh
Pretty little things wilt away
