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 find a better way

I said hey hey

Look at you now

Look at you now

With your best dress on

I can see you dancing in the pale moonlight

And you're moving round just like a spinning top

Got your hair highlights

And got your painted nails

Got your glad rags on

And got your humour back

Yeh the purple people they can learn from you

To control a mind and make it follow through

From the darkest recess found a shining 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 helping hand

I said

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
