Dress Up
Pretty, pretty princess dancin' 'round
You spun the spinner and you won the crown
Five years old in a gown with your hair braided
Oh, your mama wished that you hadn't used
Her red lipstick and her best perfume
From the middle drawer of the bathroom that you raided
You did it way back when and you still do
I understand, but baby, truth is
It's okay if it's for showin' up your friends
Or lightin' boys hearts like bottle rockets
Provin' to yourself that you still got it
It's all right if you wanna see if my eyes
Are gonna take off that dress you just put on
And give you that look that says let's stay home
Revlon, Avon, maybe it's Maybelline
You know, I fell for the girl who's there underneath
You ain't gotta play dress up for me, oh no no
Well, your high school dance, runnin' late
And your daddy finally said okay
But you knew it was because your mama made him
Oh, and she just laughed when she caught
You fumblin' through her jewelry box
While your first kiss was on the front porch waitin'
You spun the spinner and you won the crown
Five years old in a gown with your hair braided
Oh, your mama wished that you hadn't used
Her red lipstick and her best perfume
From the middle drawer of the bathroom that you raided
You did it way back when and you still do
I understand, but baby, truth is
It's okay if it's for showin' up your friends
Or lightin' boys hearts like bottle rockets
Provin' to yourself that you still got it
It's all right if you wanna see if my eyes
Are gonna take off that dress you just put on
And give you that look that says let's stay home
Revlon, Avon, maybe it's Maybelline
You know, I fell for the girl who's there underneath
You ain't gotta play dress up for me, oh no no
Well, your high school dance, runnin' late
And your daddy finally said okay
But you knew it was because your mama made him
Oh, and she just laughed when she caught
You fumblin' through her jewelry box
While your first kiss was on the front porch waitin'
