Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(Hey DJ)

Lady in a glass dress
I can see right through you
You act like you don't want this
But you know that you do
Since he broke your heart, girl
You say you'll never love again
And you won't let it stop, girl
But we know in the end

You still dream, dream
You still dream, dream
Baby, I can make your dreams come true

Oh, oh




Lady in the glass dress
Hoo, hoo

Overall Meaning

Chris Brown's "Lady in a Glass Dress" is a song that explores the complex emotions that arise after a heartbreak. It centers around a woman who has been hurt in love and is now guarded, telling herself and others that she will never love again. However, the singer can see through her facade and understands that she still dreams of finding love. He offers to make her dreams come true and give her the love she desires.


The song's title is essential to understanding its meaning. A lady in a glass dress is someone who appears beautiful and untouchable, but is also fragile and can be easily broken. This metaphor is used to describe the singer's emotional state after a break-up. She may appear strong and unbreakable on the outside, but on the inside, she is vulnerable and in need of love.


The lyrics also suggest that the singer is struggling with conflicting emotions. On the one hand, she wants to move on from her past relationship and protect herself from future pain. On the other hand, she still has hope and dreams of finding love. Ultimately, the song's message is one of hope and encouragement, reminding listeners that it's okay to be vulnerable and that love is still possible after a heartbreak.

Begging you to stay with me but you're staying right there
When will you try
I swear you're been selfish girl you know that this ain't

Tell me that you wanna be alone when you go to bed tonight
You close your eyes
