  • Okay,
    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'd ever want and 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'll get 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,
    To steady my feet
    Get up off my knees and just remember that I am
    More than just somebody's puppet I can
    Find the cord and then I'll cut it I stand
    A pretty good chance to dust myself off and dance

    I'll get 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 that nothing's wrong
    This doesn't have to be a sad song
    Not with my little black dress on

    It's time to connect the dots
    And draw a different picture up
    And paint you with the colors of
    Everything I ever was
    Return to the scene of the crime,
    The day I let the music die
    And rewrite the final lines 'cause this time I

    I'll get 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 that nothing's wrong
    This doesn't have to be a sad song
    Not with my little black dress on Writer/s: SARA BAREILLES
