Lyrics
Dressed For Success
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.
Tried to make it little by little
Tried to make it bit by bit on my own
I quit the job, the grey believers
Another town where I get close to the bone
What you're gonna tell your brother?
Oh, oh, oh
What you're gonna tell your father?
I don't know!
What you're 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
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, oh, oh, oh
And in the dark things happen faster
I love the way you sway your hips next to mine (oh)
What you're gonna tell your brother?
Oh, oh, oh
What you're gonna tell your father?
I don't know!
What you're 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 ye (let's sharp)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, whoa, whoa
What you're gonna tell your brother?
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
What you're gonna tell your father?
I don't know!
What you're gonna tell your mother
Let me go
Dressed for success
I'm gonna get dressed for success
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
