What You’re Wearing

  

I don’t know (8x)

 

Well, some girls like a diamond smile

Guys who aren’t that great or hot

Or a guy with real good parts

Or a guy who’s in the charts


We don’t care about none of that

We just care about shoes and hats

You got such a lovely car

What you wear is what you are

 

What you’re wearing, I’ve got to know

What you’re wearing, I’ve got to know

Straight from the closet, right to the heart

What you’re wearing, hope that it don’t fall apart

 

Big decisions all the time

Is it yours or is it mine

Should we blend in or stand out

Something subtle something nice


We don’t parish all the same

What’s the coffee what’s the stain

Don’t like brick nor stone like grain

Will it shrink or will it fade

 

What you’re wearing, I’ve got to know

What you’re wearing, I’ve got to know

Straight from the closet, right to the heart

What you’re wearing, hope that it don’t fall apart

 

I don’t know (8x)

 

When I wiggle at your desk

Kind of laughing sort of fair

Sure I love you just as much

Very nearly just as much

 

Ain’t so luck, that’s really nice

Mind if I give some advice

I know that you try to please

But when you hug me, what’s the grease?

 

What you’re wearing, I’ve got to know

What you’re wearing, I’ve got to know
