“Dress Wasn't Cheap” lyrics
Dress wasn't cheap
I'm wearing it out
Almost left it in the wardrobe
Almost wore the same old black
Spent an hour with the iron
Then I put the good shoes back
Took the ones that let me move right
Let the zipper find its place
Now you're trying not to notice
But I caught you looking twice
Dress wasn't cheap
I'm wearing it out
Dress wasn't cheap
Watch me turn around
I was worried how it fitted
Now I like the way it moves
There's a crease across the middle
And a scuff on both my shoes
You come asking for a slow one
I say keep up where we are
Then I take your hand and show you
You don't have to try so hard
Dress wasn't cheap
I'm wearing it out
Dress wasn't cheap
Watch me turn around
One more turn
Let it fall
One more turn
That's my song
I can buy another dress
I can't buy this night again
Let the hem get a little dusty
I'm not saving it for then
Dress wasn't cheap
I'm wearing it out
Dress wasn't cheap
Watch me turn around
Dress wasn't cheap
I'm wearing it out
Dress wasn't cheap
Watch me turn around
Keep the good shoes
I like these now
Dress wasn't cheap
I'm wearing it out
