Dressed For Success Lyrics
Tried to make it little by little,
tried to make it bit by bit on my own.
Quit the job, the grey believers,
another town where I get close to the bone.
Whatcha gonna tell your brother?
- oh oh oh whatcha gonna tell your father?
- I don't know!
Whatcha gonna tell your mother?
- Let me go...
I'm gonna get dressed
for success
shaping me up for the big time, baby.
Get dressed
for success
shaping it up for your love
yea yea yea.
I'm not afraid, a trembling flower,
I'll feed your heart and blow the dust from your eyes
and in the dark things happen faster.
I love the way you sway your hips next to mine.
Whatcha gonna tell your brother? - oh oh oh...
I'm gonna get dressed
for success,
hitting a spot for the big time, baby.
Get dressed
for success
shaping it up for your love. Look sharp!
tried to make it bit by bit on my own.
Quit the job, the grey believers,
another town where I get close to the bone.
Whatcha gonna tell your brother?
- oh oh oh whatcha gonna tell your father?
- I don't know!
Whatcha gonna tell your mother?
- Let me go...
for success
shaping me up for the big time, baby.
Get dressed
for success
shaping it up for your love
yea yea yea.
I'll feed your heart and blow the dust from your eyes
and in the dark things happen faster.
I love the way you sway your hips next to mine.
for success,
hitting a spot for the big time, baby.
Get dressed
for success
shaping it up for your love. Look sharp!

Gonna get dressed for safe sex. Sorry.. that's how we use to sing it. I think it's about leaving home and facing the big world.
This song sing about preparing for the big bad world out there ... Ditching the college student's life and prepared to climb the corporate ladder in the rat race..
Yes, I think this song is about preparing for the big bad world out there -its so eponymous of tehe 80's cut throat yuppie world (especially for women, who knew dressing sexy had a lot to do with it) Oh - the 80's!
When this song came out, we used to think it said "I'm gonna get undressed.... for some sex.." HEHEHE! I love Roxette!
"I'm gonna get undressed.... for some sex.."
"I'm gonna get undressed.... for some sex.."
make sense to me..hehehe
make sense to me..hehehe
I still think this song IS about sex.Or is about going to get sex anyway.
She's worried about what her mother/father/brother say..and she says "another town where I get close to the bone."
"Get dressed for success shaping it up for your love yea yea yea."
It sounds like she's dressing to go to club so she can get laid.
what does this one lyric mean i quit my job the great belivers
Ok, I think this song is about her CHANGING jobs from a "respectable suited job" to being like a stripper or something. This would explain the sexual references, worrying what her family thinks, going to another town, and leaving her current job. Lol. XD
