Lyrics Best Dress On - Joan Armatrading

Best Dress On

Hey hey
Look at you now
Look at you now
With your best dress on
Hey hey
Look at you now
Look at you now
With your best dress on
Hey hey
Look at you now
Look at you now
With your best dress on
It doesn’t seem so very long ago
That your mind was weak
And dragged your spirits low
You had some worries
Like the size of earth
And the weight on your shoulders
Of the universe
I said hey hey
Look at you now
Look at you now
With your best dress on
You painted yourself in a corner space
Trying to lose that stigma
And the badge of shame
But everybody has a cross to bear
You were a slave to your desire
To find a better way
I said hey hey
Look at you now
Look at you now
With your best dress on
I can see you dancing in the pale moonlight
And you’re moving round just like a spinning top
Got your hair highlights
And got your painted nails
Got your glad rags on
And got your humour back
Yeh the purple people they can learn from you
To control a mind and make it follow through
From the darkest recess found a shining light
Built your world back up
And set your life to right
I said hey hey
Look at you now
Look at you now
With your best dress on
Look at you now
Look at you now
With your best dress on
On a blind date
Under shooting stars
Met an angel
Chosen by your fate
And that’s how destiny is shaped
When you lend a helping hand
I said
Look at you now
Look at you now
With your best dress on
It doesn’t seem so very long ago
That your mind was weak
And dragged your spirits low
I said hey hey
Look at you now
Look at you now
With your best dress on
