lyrics

Conversational hips
They won’t listen to the mind that’s talking
Confrontational tricks
But they won’t take the “no” you’re offering

Whether you’re calloused and cool
Or play by their rules
It’s nothing but a one-way-street
'Cause if you’re flirty and free
They won’t choose to see
The person behind the body

They’ll blame it on the black dress, black dress
They’ll blame it on the high heels, red lips
They’ll blame it on the fresh face, white lace
They’ll blame it on you

They say you should have said no
And if you said it, should have worn it louder
Why are you going out alone?
They made your bed but now they call you the liar

Whether you’re sober or not
They’re calling the shots
It’s nothing but a one-way-street
And if your history speaks
They won’t choose to see
The person behind the body

They’ll blame it on the black dress, black dress
They’ll blame it on the high heels, red lips
They’ll blame it on the fresh face, white lace
They’ll blame it on you

You and your black dress, black dress
Ooh the black dress, black dress

Let them take a walk in our heels
See how it feels
To be the person behind the body

So go on wear your black dress, black dress
Go on wear your high heels, red lips
Or you can keep the fresh face, white lace
'Cause you’re not the fool

Go on wear your black dress, black dress
Go on wear those high heels, red lips
Or you can keep that fresh face, white lace
It’s all up to you
