Today I Will Dress Up
Bear Quartet · Saturday Night [2005]
in the best clothes that I've got
And I will do my best
at least I'll try my best
For once I'll do it right
too many lonely nights
and though I am afraid
I wish for once I will do okay
I hope that they will tell
how much they wanted me there
I wish that they would say
I am a friend of theirs
I hope that when I smile
they will smile back at me
I hope they will appreciate
all of the things that are the person who's me
Administrative offices
grown-ups treated like they're kids
It's time for me to leave
Free, everything's going green
We're only as sick
as the secrets that we keep
Is the wrong within us
or the world that denies that we meet
