You've been waiting for something true and holy. You've been waiting for something beautiful. Time passes slowly while you're waiting, and all you've got for praying was a dream and some high heeled shoes. And some moves to hide your blues.
But now you don't have to do a thing to impress me. Even though you're sad and depressed, you're sexy.
You're the queen of sorrow, aren't you, baby? You're the queen of cars in the moonlight. You just want a boy who can drive you crazy. So, now you're back out dancing, hoping to meet someone new, and that your blues will not show through.
But now you don't have to do a thing to impress me. Even though you're sad and depressed, you're sexy.
