Red Dress
Red Dress: Unrequited Longing in Young Winona's Melody
Lyrics
You see me wearing that red dress
You notice me wearing the red dress.
I see you looking so depressed
I observe that you seem unhappy or despondent.
I won't settle for second best
I refuse to accept anything less than the best for myself.
or let you love me even less
I won't allow you to love me with diminished intensity.
Hey - you never wanted me
You have never desired or pursued a relationship with me.
I'm over here you see
I am present and visible, attractive and appealing.
And looking real pretty
I am outwardly attractive and pleasing to the eye.
Hey - I see I came real close
Hey - I notice that I almost formed a significant connection with you.
I needed you the most
I required your presence and support the most.
But now you're just a ghost
Now, you are just a fading memory or insignificant presence.
Our conversation's running dry
Our communication is becoming monotonous or uninteresting.
Your lips are thirsty all the time
Your words lack sincerity or passion, suggesting emotional emptiness.
I'm so annoyed you never try
I am frustrated that you don't make an effort to understand or fulfill my desires.
to give me what I want tonight
You consistently fail to provide what I need, especially tonight.
Hey - you never wanted me
You never expressed a genuine desire for a relationship with me.
I'm over here you see
I am present and visible, attractive and appealing (repeated).
And looking real pretty
I am outwardly attractive and pleasing to the eye (repeated).
Hey - I see I came real close
Hey - I realize that I almost formed a significant connection with you (repeated).
I needed you the most
I required your presence and support the most (repeated).
But now you're just a ghost
Now, you are just a fading memory or insignificant presence (repeated).
Just when I think I've had enough you go and show me your stuff
Just as I feel like giving up, you surprise me with something impressive.
Just when I think you're interested I keep forgetting you're dead.
Just when I think you're showing interest, I realize you're emotionally unavailable or detached.
Hey - you never wanted me
You never expressed a genuine desire for a relationship with me (repeated).
I'm over here you see
I am present and visible, attractive and appealing (repeated).
And looking real pretty
I am outwardly attractive and pleasing to the eye (repeated).
Hey - I see I came real close
Hey - I realize that I almost formed a significant connection with you (repeated).
I needed you the most
I required your presence and support the most (repeated).
But now you're just a ghost
Now, you are just a fading memory or insignificant presence (repeated).
