Everyday Clothes
|
|
Going to a party and she's wondering what's the way.
|
I say "look, why don't you just wear what you'd wear everyday?"
|
You know, T-Shirt, you know sweatshirt,
|
You know, cut off shorts you know those...
|
Plain old everyday clothes.
|
|
She had a black dress that I remember still
|
But in her ordinary clothes the girl was dressed to kill.
|
I loved her, I loved her at first sight I suppose
|
And I couldn't have loved her more than in her...
|
Plain old everyday clothes.
|
|
Jeans and a sweater, jeans and a shirt
|
I started going soft and I started to flirt
|
Ooo Ooo
|
Well jeans and something that didn't fit right
|
Naw, But I loved her at first sight.
|
|
Now she's in something from the hardware store
|
But Pierre Cardin and Fiorucci could have done no more.
|
Cuz I loved her, Cuz I loved her
|
Cuz that's the way it goes
|
And I loved her even more in just her...
|
Plain old everyday clothes.
|
|
Jeans and a sweater, Jeans and a shirt
|
I started going soft and I started to flirt
|
Ooo Ooo
|
Well Jeans and something that didn't fit right
|
Mmm, But I loved her at first sight.
|
|
Now she's in something that she's put on by chance
|
But when I fell in love, when I fell in love
|
It plain made no difference (It only made it more intense)
|
Cuz I loved her, Cuz I loved her
|
Since every angel knows
|
And I, I loved her more in just her...
|
Plain old everyday clothes.
|
My God, her plain old everyday.
|
|
Jeans and a sweater, Jeans and a shirt
|
I started going soft and I started to flirt
|
Jeans and something from the second hand
|
But remember what I said about Pierre Cardin.
|
Jeans and something from the hardware store
|
But the Italian boys could have done no more.
|
Alright, well alright.
