Dress On Lyrics

[Verse 1]
There’s something 'bout your body
I’m not in a rush
But girl, I’m ready to marry you
Yeah, right here in this restaurant
And start on our honeymoon
Why you still got your dress on?
Why you still got your dress on? Oh, yeah


[Pre-Chorus]
Now, I ain’t trying to offend nobody
But girl, don't they see you?
It’s cool if they don’t

'Cause, hey, I only see me and you
That’s why I’m all over you
Why you still got your dress on?
Why you still got your dress on? Oh, yeah, yeah

[Chorus]
I can’t wait
'Cause girl, as soon as I look in your face
I see a world where our heart never breaks
To me, that means that the whole world could change but not mine
I can’t wait

[Verse 2]
The way I know your body
I don’t really need much
Girl, I know where to touch
Just stay where you are
Drop all your worries
And you can leave all the rest on
We can do it
Why you still got your dress on?

[Pre-Chorus]
Now, I ain’t trying to offend nobody
But girl, don't they see you?
It’s cool if they don’t

'Cause, hey, I only see me and you
That’s why I’m all over you
Why you still got your dress on?
Why you still got your dress on? Oh, yeah, yeah

[Chorus]
Now, I can’t wait
'Cause girl, as soon as I look in your face
I see a world where our heart never breaks
And to me, that means that the whole world could change but not mine
I can’t wait

[Verse 3: Timbaland]
Let me take you
So walk with me
Through the beautiful sand as we take pictures, huh
Hips so wide, look like it’s got whiskers
Let me put a solid gold on that solid figure, ha-ha
Go 'head, show your pretty dentures
Your pretty physique, your pretty toes
I’m pretty with you
I do a good job for that pretty picture
You the prettiest but I’m the only thing that’s missing
[Chorus]
I can’t wait
'Cause girl, as soon as I look in your face
I see a world where our heart never breaks
And to me, that means that the whole world could change but not mine, yeah
I can’t wait

[Chorus]
Now, I can’t wait
'Cause girl, as soon as I look in your face
I see a world where our heart never breaks
And to me, that means that the whole world could change but not mine

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

About

Genius Annotation

A bonus track (no pun intended-bone us, for those who didn’t get it) from the 20/20 experience. Justin muses on doing a lot with a girl while she still has her dress on. Although at surface level it seems like a raunchy song, it is actually an intimate song in which he uses the metaphor of a sexual escapade to describe a long term relationship that will probably begin in a flash.

Though not produced by him, the song features an uncredited Timbaland
