Sharp Dressed Man Lyrics
Clean shirt, new shoes
And I don't know where I am goin' to
Silk suit, black tie
I don't need a reason why
They come runnin' just as fast as they can
'Cause every girl crazy 'bout a sharp-dressed man
Gold watch, diamond ring
I ain't missin' a single thing
And cuff links, stick pin
When I step out I'm gonna do you in
They come runnin' just as fast as they can
'Cause every girl crazy 'bout a sharp-dressed man
Top coat, top hat,
I don't worry 'cause my wallet's fat
Black shades, white gloves
Lookin' sharp and lookin' for love
They come runnin' just as fast as they can
'Cause every girl crazy 'bout a sharp-dressed man
And I don't know where I am goin' to
Silk suit, black tie
I don't need a reason why
They come runnin' just as fast as they can
'Cause every girl crazy 'bout a sharp-dressed man
I ain't missin' a single thing
And cuff links, stick pin
When I step out I'm gonna do you in
They come runnin' just as fast as they can
'Cause every girl crazy 'bout a sharp-dressed man
I don't worry 'cause my wallet's fat
Black shades, white gloves
Lookin' sharp and lookin' for love
They come runnin' just as fast as they can
'Cause every girl crazy 'bout a sharp-dressed man

Tehe. This song reminds me of when I wore a suit to my 8th grade dance. I was walking down the hallway looking all sophisticated, when this guy goes "What the hell are you, a Naval Captain?" then the guy standing next to him goes, "Sharp dressed man."
It is true every girl is crazy about a sharp dressed man. I wanna use this song to bring back the days of guys dressing like respectable members of society, not like schlubs.
THIS SONG ROCKS!!! The beat is awesome and everything about it is. The lyrics dont matter, the beat and the song its self is the best. But the lyrics are funny, its literally just about being a chick magnet.
I can't get enough of this song lately. This is most definetely the best ZZ Top song of all time.
It's a great song, but Gimme All Your Lovin' and Legs give it a run for its money.
oh-my-gosh, I totally love this song. Something about it just makes me picture some hot guy decked out to the nines, and that turns me on. Could you imagine one singing it to you? Oh, goosebumps...
I want to dress up like that, and then walk down a main street with this song playing.
Lukasa is right! What a tune eh, 2005 last comment? ZZ TOP!
This song is simply fantastic. When/if I get the car I want (late 1970s Lincoln Town Car), I want to wear a black pair of aviator sunglasses and blast this song all the way down the road.
From what I hear, everyone gets that feeling from this song.
simply unbelievable. makes you think you're uh----there's no other word for it----"COOL". i LOVE it!
ZZ top started the whole lookin sharp craze with this song....kinda weird, a bunch of old guys with beards to their knees to sing...i love it though
