Natalie Hemby
Backhanded Compliment
[Verse 1]
I hope I look like you when I'm your age
It seems like you have lost a lot of weight
You must have confidence to wear that dress
And it's too bad that you have not had more success
I think I like you better as a blonde
Has anyone told you you look like your mom?
I love that you don't care about your looks
And nothin' that you do is ever by the books

[Chorus]
Do you ever think before you speak
Or was that an insult intentionally?
You talk to me without an invitation
Makin' an awkward conversation
Too bad your big mouth never came with
Words to say what you really meant
Piss off and thanks again, my friend
For your backhanded compliment

[Verse 2]
Never ask a woman when she's due
And never tell a man his pants are cute
It's rude to say I'm smarter than you thought
And it's my personality that makes me hot
[Chorus]
Do you ever think before you speak
Or was that an insult intentionally?
You talk to me without an invitation
Makin' an awkward conversation
Too bad your big mouth never came with
Words to say what you really meant
Piss off and thanks again, my friend
For your backhanded compliment

[Bridge]
Here's a compliment that I'd like to give back
You remind me of a horse that I once had

[Chorus]
Do you ever think before you speak?
'Cause it makes insults feel really sweet
You talk to me without an invitation
Now I'm gonna end this conversation
Too bad your big mouth never came with
Words to say what you really meant
Piss off and thanks again, my friend
For your backhanded compliment

[Outro]
