Red Dress
Sugababes Lyrics

Cooler than the red dress
'cause I'm cooler
'cause I'm cooler
'cause I'm cooler than the red dress
'cause I'm cooler
'cause I'm cooler

Using subtle diploma
To get what she wants
Can't say that it's wrong

No baby
A man's not a boy can't you see
We're pulling the strings
We're taking the lead

And when you're sure
You'll never let him play you again
She'll put on your favorite smile
And plug the cord
And get you in your dirty dance
Her hips will send you into a trance

'cause I'm cooler than the red dress
I'd rather catch a guy on my own
(Give me credit)
'cause what you see the man gets
(Don't forget it)
And if he don't I'm better off here alone
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Don't need candlelight to make you stay over
I'm giving it up now, baby
If that's what I gotta do just to own you
I'm giving it up now maybe
(To you)

I've played the desperate lady
Jumped through all of the hoops boy
Instead of constant craving
I leave the chasing to you
And if you don't respect it
Ill pick up my Jimmy Choos
'cause boy if you don't love me
Then I've got nothing to lose

'cause I've been down this roads before
I should have known that I was to blame
Won't put on your
Favorite smile
Won't plug the cord to get you to your dirty dance
That's not the way I get my demands

'cause I'm cooler than the red dress
I'd rather catch a guy on my own
'cause what you see the man gets
And if he don't I'm better off here alone

(Save your kisses)
'cause I'm cooler than the red dress
(Do you get it)
I'd rather catch a guy on my own
(Give me credit)
'cause what you see the man gets
(Don't forget it)
And if he don't I'm better off here alone
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Don't need candlelight to make you stay over
I'm giving it up now baby
If that's what I gotta do just to own you
I'm giving it up now baby
Don't need candlelight to make you stay over
(Right now)
I'm giving it up now baby
If that's what I gotta do just to own you
(Own you, own you baby)
I'm giving it up now maybe

Said don't call me baby
(Cooler than the red dress)
Said don't call me baby
(Cooler than the red dress)
