dress - I'm going out dancing F# B F# B F# Starting off red - clean and sparkling he'll see me F# Music playing make it dreamy for dancing - A F# A F# must be a way that I can dress to please him F# It's hard to walk in the dress, it's not easy - B F# B F# I'm spilling over like a heavy loaded fruit tree Verse 2 ------- F# A F# A F# It's sad to see - lonely all this lonely F# B F# B F# Close up my eyes - dreamy dreamy music make it be alright F# Music play make it good for romacing - A F# A F# must be a way I can dress to please him F# Swing and sway everything'll be alright - B F# B F# but it's feeling so damn tight tonight Verse 3 ------- F# Filthy tight, the dress is filthy - A F# A F# I'm falling flat and my arms are empty F# Clear the way better get it out of this room - B F# B F# a falling woman in dancing costume Chorus ------ B If you put it on A F# If you put it on B If you put it on G F# If you put it on Interlude --------- A F# A A F# A "You purdy thang," My man says, A F# A A F# A "But I bought you beautiful dresses."
