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
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
