She said she wore that dress with hopes to impress the one that caught her eye
And he praised her choice just like she knew that he would and marveled at its sight
He said oh that dress is such a lovely dress its beauty knows no match
With his reaction in mind slowly throughout the night
He whispered she was just the perfect catch
And so they danced and danced they smiled and laughed and held each other close
Just like the magic of the cosmos had surely blessed them both
But then all at once as quick as it comes that magic can disappear
Because of one dark dress and all the power it revealed
When another man came and asked her hand to dance
With those flirtatious words, only them two heard
All those suggestive questions that he asked
He said "oh that dress is such a lovely dress did you wear it here for me"
Oh tell me why oh why did she have to reply so obligingly
And as the night came to pass you know he just had to ask
About those compliments that she received
With that worried look in her eyes, she made her sacrifice with all her casually flirting
She said "oh that dress no man could resist the power of its appeal
Didn't mean to cause such a mess with all the hurting it revealed''
They'll have to figure it out if they want it to work
They'll have to figure it out and do what it takes for what it's worth
They're gonna figure it out for heaven's sake
They'll figure it out and have a good laugh about it someday
She said she wore that dress but would never have guessed it could stir up such a fight
Was it an absence of mind did she cross the line or is he really just the jealous type
Because of one dark dress the power it possessed and allure of its appeal
Didn't mean to cause such a mess with all the hurtin' it revealed
She said "she wore that dress with hopes to impress him''
