Well, on a Friday night, you draw your pay
And you take in the town
You leave me at home just to lose my mind
For you're out messin' around

Well, it's four in the morning and you're staggerin' in
And you sure look a mess
With a smile on your face and out-stretched arms
And a bargain basement dress

I wouldn't wear that dress to a dogfight
If the fight was free
And the bargain basement dress ain't enough
To get your arms around me

Well, you say when a man works hard all week
He deserves to play or rest
But honey, that ain't right, so get out of my sight
With that bargain basement dress

I wouldn't wear that dress to a dogfight
If the fight was free
And the bargain basement dress ain't enough
To get your arms around me

Now, I took all I'm a-gonna take
And I'm leavin' you the rest
Tell you what I'll do, I'll just leave you
That bargain basement dress
Tell you what I'll do, I'll just leave you
That old bargain basement dress
