Lyrics

ready to wear

she haunts the bargain bin
her favorites are pre-owned
she's running out of storage
she needs a bigger house
perhaps she needs to be alone
perhaps she needs to say goodbye
perhaps she needs at least to try

she wants a man who's ready to wear
goes with her heart, goes with her skin, goes with her hair
goes out and comes back in
goes from everyday to special occasion

it isn't that she's a shopaholic
but she's here and it's a great deal
what is she supposed to do
how can she walk away
from this luxurious feel
always a sucker for the latest snake oil
and the smooth, smooth huckster spiel

she wants a man who's ready to wear
no augmentations, alterations on neither side
no reductions, liposuctions, choosing nothing to hide
her little point of pride

she'll take this one home to test the fit
she can always return him in the morning
don't think of her as calculating or desperate
she tries to give fair warning

too many men between her fingers,
under her bed, underneath her toes
falling out her closet
tumbling from her drawers
(you know how that goes)
she's thinking about renting a van
but that usually comes with another man
(rent now and get a perfectly good man!)

she wants a man who's ready to wear
goes with her heart, goes with her skin, goes with her hair
goes out and comes back in
goes from everyday to special occasion

she wants a man who's ready to wear
no augmentations, alterations on neither side
no reductions, liposuctions, choosing nothing to hide
her little point of pride

perhaps it's time, time for a little spring cleaning...
