[Intro] (Hey!) Dress me up, darling (One more pin!) Pull that ribbon tight I want the whole room looking twice (Too much? Never!) You picked the satin, I picked the fight Now watch me take the night [Verse 1] You stitched a secret in the lining of my coat A little silver dagger and a note It says, “Tonight, darling, make them all behave” So I practiced my smile in the mirror like a grave You said, “That hem is scandalously high” I said, “Then keep your eyes up, sweetheart, try” [Pre-Chorus] Pins in my teeth, lipstick like a dare You made the outfit; I made them stare [Chorus] Dress me up, darling, dress me up loud Black satin, red thread, king of the crowd You thought you made a doll who'd stand still in a frame I came alive and set fire to the name Dress me up, darling, sew on the crown I’m the pretty little problem turning your rules upside down [Verse 2] You brought the lace, I brought the bad news I wore your Sunday gloves to pick a fight with the truth The neighbors called the landlord when I kissed the mannequin Then asked if I could teach their sons to walk like him You gasp at every buckle, every flash of skin I wink and say, “The shocking part is that you let me in” [Pre-Chorus] Pins in my teeth, lipstick like a dare You made the outfit; I made them stare [Chorus] Dress me up, darling, dress me up loud Black satin, red thread, king of the crowd You thought you made a doll who'd stand still in a frame I came alive and set fire to the name Dress me up, darling, sew on the crown I’m the pretty little problem turning your rules upside down [Bridge] You said, “Be sweet.” I said, “Define it.” You said, “Be good.” I said, “Don’t mind it.” You pinned my heart beneath a velvet bow Now watch me choose exactly where to go [Final Chorus] Dress me up, darling, dress me up loud Black satin, red thread, king of the crowd You thought you made a doll who'd stand still in a frame I came alive and set fire to the name Dress me up, darling, sew on the crown I’m the pretty little problem turning your rules upside down [Outro] You made the dress. I made the entrance.
