Lyrics
[Verse 1]
An invitation to a party begs you go
You'll wear the only thing that waits inside your door
No red, no green, one black dress is all
Any woman needs, my, aren't we fashionable?
[Verse 2]
Calls made, your ride awaits
You've dressed your lips in rose
The powder on your face
Who else could get so close?
[Verse 3]
Refuse directions, you have memorized the road
Back when you chased the trends, some picture always told
No red, no green, one black dress is all
Any woman needs, my, aren't we fashionable?
[Verse 4]
Who will sweep you off your feet?
Who will sweep you off your feet?
[Verse 5]
You've made your great escape with only one goodbye
Your stream on consciousness, it floods into the light
The boy's predictable, the girls may never know
The beauty that you wear way underneath your clothes
[Verse 6]
No red, no green, one black dress is all
Any woman needs, my, aren't we fashionable?
[Verse 7]
Who will sweep you off your feet?
Who will sweep you off your feet?
[Verse 8]
Role models pile up in the street
She has survived, just a scratch on her cheek
She's payin' in dimes, a midnight coffee shrink
Mmm
[Verse 9]
Her shoulder's exposed, she holds a cup like a queen
From some tiny ancient island country off the coast of Greece
Where the daughters will all have names like Elise
Mmm
[Verse 10]
The lighting in here is terrible, a weird glowing green
And flattery won't get her out of her seat
She digs in her heels, her mascara streaks
Who's gonna sweep her off?
[Verse 11]
Why didn't I, why? A hundred miles deep
Who's gonna sweep her off of her feet?
A skeptic at heart, but why shouldn't she be?
Who's gonna sweep her off?
[Verse 12]
When every mouth lies and every hand cheats
Good luck sweepin' her off of her feet
With those X-ray eyes you see the wolf and the sheep
But who's gonna sweep her off?
[Verse 13]
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
[Verse 14]
I am your style
Oh, and you are my style
And I am your style
And you are my style
[Verse 15]
Who will sweep you off your feet?
Who will sweep you off your feet?
Who will sweep you off your feet?
