Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Cooler than the red dress

'cause I'm cooler

'cause I'm cooler

'cause I'm cooler than the red dress

'cause I'm cooler

'cause I'm cooler

Using subtle diploma

To get what she wants

Can't say that it's wrong

No baby

A man's not a boy can't you see

We're pulling the strings

We're taking the lead

And when you're sure

You'll never let him play you again

She'll put on your favorite smile

And plug the cord

And get you in your dirty dance

Her hips will send you into a trance

'cause I'm cooler than the red dress

I'd rather catch a guy on my own

(Give me credit)

'cause what you see the man gets

(Don't forget it)

And if he don't I'm better off here alone

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Don't need candlelight to make you stay over

I'm giving it up now, baby

If that's what I gotta do just to own you

I'm giving it up now maybe

(To you)

I've played the desperate lady

Jumped through all of the hoops boy

Instead of constant craving

I leave the chasing to you

And if you don't respect it

I'll pick up my Jimmy Choos

'cause boy if you don't love me

Then I've got nothing to lose

'cause I've been down this roads before

I should have known that I was to blame

Won't put on your

Favorite smile

Won't plug the cord to get you to your dirty dance

That's not the way I get my demands

'cause I'm cooler than the red dress

I'd rather catch a guy on my own

'cause what you see the man gets

And if he don't I'm better off here alone

(Save your kisses)

'cause I'm cooler than the red dress

(Do you get it)

I'd rather catch a guy on my own

(Give me credit)

'cause what you see the man gets

(Don't forget it)

And if he don't I'm better off here alone

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Don't need candlelight to make you stay over

I'm giving it up now baby

If that's what I gotta do just to own you

I'm giving it up now baby

Don't need candlelight to make you stay over

(Right now)

I'm giving it up now baby

If that's what I gotta do just to own you

(Own you, own you baby)

I'm giving it up now maybe

Said don't call me baby

(Cooler than the red dress)

Said don't call me baby

(Cooler than the red dress)
