Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Did you clean yourself for me last night?
Put the water out and donned a marigold
In your hair to bring me here
And tie one on you
[Verse 2]
Did you dress me down and liquor me up
To make me last for the minute
When the red comes over you
Like it does when you're filled with love
Or whatever you call it
[Verse 3]
Do you feel alone when I'm in my head
While you wait for me to take my breath
Do you still feel clean when the only dirt is the dirt I left
How can you blame yourself when I did everything I wanted to?
[Verse 4]
You just made yourself available
You just made yourself available
[Verse 5]
Why did you dress me down?
Why did you dress me down?
Why did you dress me down?
Why did you dress me down?
Why did you dress me down, dress me down?
Why did you dress me down, dress me down?
Why did you dress me down, dress me down?
Dress me down and liquor me up
Liquor me up
Liquor me up
Liquor me up
