ready for what

the thin black dress i like to wear
the earrings that hang so daintily
my heels that stand me just so
and my hair set so perfectly

i can sit there for a long time
the make-up, the liner
what shade gloss tonight?
nothing underneath, nothing finer

all the looks the stares
is that what i did this for
no not at all
gonna be at my best though maybe more

if you notice if you like
how you treat me how i feel
especially with timing
especially if surreal

i will let you get close
might give you a chance
make me feel like a woman
make me want to take a glance

do you have something to offer
are you gonna make me want
no lines no money no tricks
give me a reason to wanna take that jaunt

to where i'm going to let you see
what it's like when it's just me
when my hair is loosened
when i just want to be

a woman in a black dress
alone with you quiet
eyes looking up at you
a smile with an invite

thats when you'll know
all my getting ready and getting ready for what
it turned out to be that
actually i want it alot
