The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Tried to make it little by little
tried to make it bit by bit on my own.
Quit the job, the grey believers
another town where I get close to the bone.
What you gonna tell your brother? - Oh oh oh
What you gonna tell your father? - I don't know!
What you gonna tell your mother - Let me go...
I'm gonna get dressed for success,
shaping me up for the big time, baby.
Get dressed for success
Shaping it up for your love yeah yeah yeah
I'm not afraid, a trembling flower,
I'll feed your heart and blow the dust from your eyes
and in the dark things happen faster,
I love the way you sway your hips next to mine.
What you gonna tell tell your brother? - oh oh oh
What you gonna tell your father? - I don't know!
What you gonna tell your mother - Let me go...
I'm gonna get dressed for success,
hitting a spot for the big time, baby.
Get dressed for success,
shaping it up for your love.
For your love,yeah yeah yeah
For your love,yeah yeah yeah
For your love,yeah yeah yeah
For your love,yeah yeah yeah
Yeah!
