[Verse 1]
I Ghope I look like you when I'm your Emage
It Gseems like you have lost a lot of Emweight
You Cmust have confidence to wear that Ddress
And Cit's too bad that you have not had Dmore success
[Verse 2]
GI think I liked you better as a bloEmnde
GHas anyone told you, you look like Emyour mom
CI love that you don't care about yDour looks
CAnd nothing that you do is ever by Dthe books
[Chorus 1]
Do you Cever think before you speak or was Gthat an insult intentionally
You Dtalk to me without an invitation, Gmaking an awkward conversation
CToo bad your big mouth never came with Gwords to say what you really meant
Piss Doff and thanks again my friend for your backhanded complimGent
[Verse 3]
GNever ask a woman when she's due Em  
GAnd never tell a man his pants are Emcute
CIt's rude to say I'm smarter than Dyou thought
CAnd it's my personality that makes Dme hot
[Bridge]
Here's a Gcompliment that I'd like to give Emback
You reGmind me of a horse that i once Emhad
[Chorus 2]
CDo you ever think before you speak Gor was that an insult intentionally
You Dtalk to me without an invitation, Gmaking an awkward conversation
CToo bad your big mouth never came with Gwords to say what you really meant
Piss Doff and thanks again my friend for your backhanded complimGent
