Hey, hey

Look at you now

Look at you now

With your best dress on

Hey, hey

Look at you now

Look at you now

With your best dress on

Hey, hey

Look at you now

Look at you now

With your best dress on

It doesn't seem

So very long ago

That your mind was weak

And dragged your spirits low

You had some worries

Like the size of earth

And the weight on your shoulders

Of the universe

I said, hey, hey

Look at you now

Look at you now

With your best dress on

You painted yourself

In a corner space

Trying to lose that stigma

And the badge of shame

But everybody

Has a cross to bear

You were a slave to your desire

To make a better way

I said, hey, hey

Look at you now

Look at you now

With your best dress on

I can see you dancin'

In the pale moonlight

And you're moving' 'round

Just like a spinnin' top

Got your hair highlights

And got your painted nails

Got your glad rags on

And got your humor back

Yeah, the purple people

They can learn from you

To control a mind

And make it follow through

From the darkest recess

Found a shinin' light

Built your world back up

And set your life to right

I said, hey, hey

Look at you now

Look at you now

With your best dress on

Look at you now

Look at you now

With your best dress on

On a blind date

Under shooting stars

Met an angel

Chosen by your fate

And that's how

Destiny is shaped

When you lend

A helpin' hand

I said, hey

Look at you now

Look at you now

With your best dress on

It doesn't seem

So very long ago

That your mind was weak

And dragged your spirits low

I said, hey, hey

Look at you now

Look at you now

With your best dress on

Hey, hey

Look at you now

Look at you now

With your best dress on

Hey, hey

Look at you now

Look at you now

With your best dress on

Hey, hey

Look at you now

Look at you now

With your best dress on
