The Smithereens - Evening Dress

I've been waiting for you all my life
And now that you are here I can't believe
How wonderful it is to be here by your side
To see you in the light

In your evening dress tonight

Everytime I think you've gone away
There's only one thing left that's on my mind
And everytime I think about your pretty face
My arms around you tight

In your evening dress tonight
In your evening dress tonight

Time after time you put up with me
Time after time I refused to see
Time after time you are in misery
But what more can I do?

In your evening dress tonight
In your evening dress tonight

I've been thinking about your all day long
And now that you are here I can't believe
And now I know that I would give up everything
To see you in the light
In your evening dress tonight
-you take it all back and then you throw it away
