lyrics

You Don't Wear That Dress, The Dress Wears You

Dresses were made to be worn
A body prefers the term adorned
We plunge into necklines, swim the depths
And we hope for the best
But you don't wear that dress,
The dress wears you
The dress wears you

Fashion's an empty vessel
A glass that is only half full
Hiked up to the hips on a balcony
You’ve got me on my knees

But you don't wear that dress,
The dress wears you
The dress wears you

A disco of sequins cling to you
Hold tight as the stars fly around the room
She asks that you're fashionably late
And not to come too soon

'Cause you don't wear that dress,
The dress wears you
The dress wears you

You don’t wear, You don’t wear,
You don’t wear that dress
You don’t wear it, It wears you
