Lyrics
Getting Dressed Up to Get Messed Up
Verse:
People drivin' 'round in their fancy cars
Lookin' to get lucky in their favorite bars
Chorus:
Gettin' dressed up to get messed up
Gettin' dressed up to get messed up
Gettin' dressed up to get messed up
Another Saturday Night
Verse:
Its the glitz and the glamour while you're getting hammered
Be careful going home you might wind up in the slammer
CHORUS
Instrumental:
Verse:
When last call comes around, is a different situation
Then one you wouldn't have is the one you're contemplatin'
CHORUS
Verse:
Lookin' back on old times I'm feelin' a little shame
I took somebody home, I don't even know their name
CHORUS
Instrumental:
Outro:
Gettin' dressed up to get messed up
Gettin' dressed up to get messed up
Ooh, Gettin' dressed up to get messed up
And then I took you home
Did I mess up when I dressed up?
What was your name?
What was your name?
