Dressed for Success Lyrics

[00:00.64] Yeah, yeah, yeah!
[00:04.13]
[00:17.80] Tried to make it little by little
[00:21.68] Tried to make it bit by bit on my own
[00:27.11]
[00:29.69] Quit the job, the grey believers
[00:33.69] Another town where I get close to the bone
[00:39.50] Whatcha gonna tell your brother?
[00:42.43] Oh, oh, oh!
[00:43.97] Whatcha gonna tell your father?

[00:50.42] Let me go
[00:56.35] I'm gonna get dressed for success,
[01:01.32] Shaping me up for the big time, baby
[01:04.68] Get dressed for success
[01:09.32] Shapin' it up for your love
[01:11.95] For your love
[01:14.28] Yeah, yeah, yeah!
[01:17.53]
[01:21.53] I'm not afraid, a trembling flower
[01:25.20] I'll feed your heart and blow the dust from your eyes
[01:30.40]
[01:33.25] And in the dark, things happen faster
[01:37.16] I love the way you sway your hips next to mine
