    Story Behind the Song
    Sitting in the back of an old tour bus, I wrote this in dedication to my old guitar player who said, "Honey, just stand there and look pretty. We'll do the rest." He's not with us anymore. I wonder how long it took him to walk from Pheonix back to Austin?

    Lyrics
    Met me when I was just seventeen, treated me like you treat a queen
    One problem with this monarchy, didn't see through you're pretty little scheme.
    To you I was just your little trophy, then I got wind of your boasting
    Pretty little drape on your arm, held her own little coup de'tat

    Who needs words when you got the look, stand there and look pretty
    No expanding your mind, no reading no books, stand there and look pretty
    Just like to watch the way you walk, stand there and look pretty
    Pretty little thing like you don't need to talk

    Fast forward to a few months ago, ah look who's in control
    Saw you working it on the streets, you told me I still look seventeen
    Asked if I could come and sit for a spell, and don't I remember how you treated me so well?
    Yeah baby, I remember those days but I remember how I sent you away

    Who needs words when you got the look, stand there and look pretty
    No expanding your mind, no reading no books, stand there and look pretty
    Just like to watch the way you walk, stand there and look pretty
    Pretty little thing like you don't need to talk

    You're always saying sweet lies, you're always playing the game
    Nothing new coming out of your mouth, boy you got no shame
    Before you're pretty little smirk goes south, I gotta tell you boy...shut your mouth

    Who needs words when you got the look, stand there and look pretty
    No expanding your mind, no reading no books, stand there and look pretty
    Just like to watch the way you walk, stand there and look pretty
    Pretty little thing like you don't need to talk
