Red Dress
Magic! (Rock) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You

She's tried on everything
Every little thing inside her closet
And she knows it's getting late
Knows that I been waiting and I'm starving
'Cause we been working overtime
She wants to make a night that we'll remember
And I'm staring at the time
Thinking it's alright, put on whatever

But I've been on my best behaviour
Pacing back and forth
And ten thousand lifetimes later
When she walks through the door

I said hey you with the red dress on
I gotta find a way to take it off
I got a lot of love and it's growing strong
When I see you with your red dress on
You in that red dress
You in that red dress

Yeah, it's hard to concentrate
Finish up your plate, she whispers to me
But I got one thing on my mind
As they pour the wine and it consumes me

But I've been on my best behaviour
Not to 'cause a scene
But when we finally get home later
It's just you and me

And I said hey you with the red dress on
I gotta find a way to take it off
I got a lot of love and it's growing strong
When I see you with your red dress on
Hey you with the red dress on
I gotta find a way to take it off
I got a lot of love and it's growing strong
When I see you with your red dress on
You in that red dress
You

Hey you with the red dress on
I said hey you with the red dress on

Hey you with the red dress on
I gotta find a way to take it off
I got a lot of love and it's growing strong
When I see you with your red dress on
You in that red dress




You with that red dress on
You with that red dress on

Line by Line Meaning

She's tried on everything
She put on every clothing in her closet


Every little thing inside her closet
All her clothing options


And she knows it's getting late
She's aware of the time passing


Knows that I been waiting and I'm starving
She's aware that I'm hungry and waiting for her


'Cause we been working overtime
We've been working a lot lately


She wants to make a night that we'll remember
She's trying to create a memorable night


And I'm staring at the time
I'm looking at the clock


Thinking it's alright, put on whatever
I'm okay with whatever she chooses


But I've been on my best behaviour
I'm trying hard to be good


Pacing back and forth
Nervously and excitedly walking around


And ten thousand lifetimes later
Time feels like it's taking forever


When she walks through the door
When she finally arrives


I gotta find a way to take it off
I want to remove her red dress


I got a lot of love and it's growing strong
My love for her is increasing


When I see you with your red dress on
Her in the red dress turns me on


Yeah, it's hard to concentrate
I'm having trouble focusing


Finish up your plate, she whispers to me
She tells me to finish my food quietly


But I got one thing on my mind
I'm only thinking about one thing


As they pour the wine and it consumes me
As I drink the wine and it affects me


Not to 'cause a scene
To not cause any trouble


But when we finally get home later
Once we're back home


It's just you and me
We're alone together


Hey you with the red dress on
Addressing her in the red dress


You with that red dress on
Referring to her in the red dress
