Sara Bareilles - Little Black Dress

 

Ok, I can see it now, it?s all the same thing
Just different wrapping around it
No need, to soften your words
They?re still gonna hurt, so don?t pull punches

I tried, to be everything you ever wanted
Sometimes, I even stood on my heart and stomped
Now I?m, finally alone and dressed for the show
But going nowhere
They don?t need to see me crying

I got my little black dress on
And if I put on my favorite song
I?m gonna dance until you?re all gone
I?ll get my little black dress on

You came, lifted me up, but then you dropped a hurricane
Now I?m fighting to find the ground again
Steady my feet, get up off my knees and just remember

That I am, more than just somebody?s puppet
I can, find the chord and then I?ll cut it
I stand, a pretty good chance to dust myself off and dance

I got my little black dress on
And if I put on my favorite song
I?m gonna dance until you?re all gone
I?ll get my little black dress on

I got my little black dress on
And if I tell myself there?s nothing wrong
This doesn?t have to be a sad song
Now with my little black dress on

It?s time to connect the dots
Draw a different picture of
And paint you with the colors of
Everything I ever was

And turn to the scene of the crime
The day I let the music die
And rewrite the final lines
This time I?

Now with my little black dress on
And if I put on my favorite song
I?m gonna dance until you?re all gone
I?ll get my little black dress on

I got my little black dress on
And if I tell myself there?s nothing wrong
This doesn?t have to be a sad song
Now with my little black dress on
