Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Your red dress on i make walk in all night
If you really want it put that red dress c'mon
I've been thinking about you
And all the little things that you do
It makes me wanna take my time
get things right this time
Cause I'm falling for you
And I know time goes so fast
If you don't think about it
So let's go put that dress on
You know I really need it girls

You look so good
with your sunglasses and high heels on
With that little red dress on
You got me outta my mind
Baby I'm fine
But I can't get you outta my mind
And I don't what to do when I'm without you
I know I'm asking for you to be in that dress
It makes my dress go crazy
So let's go put that red dress on
You know it's been too long
I know that sometimes things in life
They might seem strange
I'm telling you that we can make it
Our love is getting and baby I can't break no longer for you
