Lyrics & Translation

[English]

She's tried on everything

Every little thing inside her closet

And she knows it's getting late

Knows that I been waitin' and I'm starving

'Cause we been working overtime

She wants to make a night that we'll remember

And I'm starin' at the time

Thinking it's alright, put on whatever

But I've been on my best behaviour

Pacing back and forth

And ten thousand lifetimes later

When she walks through the door

I said hey you with the red dress on

I gotta find a way to take it off

I got a lot of love and it's growing strong

When I see you with your red dress on

You in that red dress

You in that red dress

Yeah, it's hard to concentrate

Finish up your plate, she whispers to me

But I got one thing on my mind

As they pour the wine and it consumes me

But I've been on my best behaviour

Not to 'cause a scene

But when we finally get home later

It's just you and me

And I said hey you with the red dress on

I gotta find a way to take it off

I got a lot of love and it's growing strong

When I see you with your red dress on

Hey you with the red dress on

I gotta find a way to take it off

I got a lot of love and it's growing strong

When I see you with your red dress on

You in that red dress

You

Hey you with the red dress on, hey

I said hey you with the red dress on

Hey you with the red dress on

I gotta find a way to take it off

I got a lot of love and it's growing strong

When I see you with your red dress on

You in that red dress

You with that red dress on

You with that red dress on
