Okay, I can see it now it's all the same thing

Just different wrapping around it

No need to soften your words, they're still gonna hurt

So don't pull punches

I tried to be everything you'd ever want

And sometimes I even stood on my heart and stomped

Now I'm finally alone and dressed for the show

But going nowhere

They don't need to see me crying.

I'll get my little black dress on

And if I put on my favorite song

I'm gonna dance until you're all gone

I'll get my little black dress on.

You came, lifted me up but then you dropped a hurricane

Now I'm fighting to find the ground again, to steady my feet

Get up off my knees and just remember

That I am more than just somebody's puppet

I can find the cord and then I'll cut it

I stand a pretty good chance to dust myself off and dance.

I'll get my little black dress on

And if I put on my favorite song

I'm gonna dance until you're all gone

I'll get my little black dress on

I got my little black dress on

And if I tell myself that nothing's wrong

This doesn't have to be a sad song

Not with my little black dress on.

It's time to connect the dots and draw a different picture up

And paint it with the colors of everything I ever was

Return to the scene of the crime, the day I let the music die

And rewrite the final lines cause this time I

I'll get my little black dress on

And if I put on my favorite song

I'm gonna dance until you're all gone

I'll get my little black dress on

I got my little black dress on

And if I tell myself that nothing's wrong

This doesn't have to be a sad song

Not with my little black dress on.
